Could I have a ppp.
I need some advice if anyone else has had the same problem and can relate or if anyone could recommend anything that would be great. My little boy is just over a week old and me and his dad live separately (with our parents). His mom has a staff puppy dog who is friendly and very energetic, my problem is that when my son goes to his dads house she always wants the dog to be around him to get ‘used to’ him and this frightens the life out of me because I know how unpredictable dogs can be whether or not they have been good around children previously, she obviously has a lot of faith that the dog would never harm anyone. I suffer really bad with anxiety and find it hard to rest or leave my son alone with her in the house knowing she will let the dog be around him (whilst she is in the room). He’s quite hard to control and the first time I took my son there she was constantly telling the dog to move and get down to stop jumping up, there was always at least 3 of us in the same room as them so one of us could always tell the dog to move away. My partner has suggested that when I need to sleep or have a night off his mom will babysit (which I really appreciate) but I’m just so scared of leaving her with the baby and the dog, also the dog sleeps in her bed at night so if she was to babysit overnight locking the dog out of the room would not be an option to her. I will never forgive myself if anything ever happened. Her dog is her world and she would get really upset if I said that I don’t want the dog anywhere near the baby whether or not people are in the same room as them. Surely it is up to me if I want a large dog around my son or not, am I being too selfish? I’m so stuck I just don’t know what to do or how to approach the conversation with her as she’s already made it clear that the dog MUST build a relationship with the baby as it’s unfair to keep him in a different room every time the baby is there. I don’t want to stop my son from visiting staying there but I don’t see any other way of making my point clear that I don’t want the dog around him. Any advice, thank you.
