Daughter problems

Neither of my daughters have dogs, but they both know if they did there wouldn’t be any point in asking me to look after them!

Children, yes, pets, absolutely not!

Spoilt daughter maybe?
Your daughter obviously thinks she can walk all over you. People will only treat you the way you let them. Time to be assertive and demand some respect.

Thanks folks, I just wanted to make sure I wasnt been unreasonable in my thoughts.

Miss my darling boy though....

Funny that your DD notified you once she was on her way on holiday about the 2nd week !!
Its totally unreasonable to ask to care for 4 x dogs for a week they should have saved for a kennels for them or got in a dog sitter,how selfish they are.
As much as you love to have your DGC I would not be as readily available in the future then maybe your DD will realise that not everything is on her terms.

She actually said if you don't watch the dogs you won't see your grandson?! And you ask if this is blackmail.

I would have no alternative but to tell her where to shove it.

As Minimoon has said, she will come round when she wants something. But you need to keep some self respect.

I think it's a bit much asking anyone to look after four dogs. We only ever had one dog at a time, but wouldn't have dreamed of asking anyone to look after it when we went away. We always booked a place in kennels for them. In my opinion, if you cannot afford to put the dogs in kennels, you cannot afford to go on holiday, after all they are your responsibility, nobody else's.
Your daughter sounds like she's being unreasonable, but it will probably blow over.
By the next time she needs your help with childcare, I shouldn't wonder.
