Bf and I are going on vacation soon. My friend, Diana, is going to watch our dog while weāre away. She will be taking our dog to her house. Our dog loves people and adapts very well. He also knows Diana. Previously, our in laws would watch our dog. They canāt anymore. Ok, thatās fine, but Iām obviously going to find someone else to watch the dog then.
MIL and SIL seem to be annoyed that Diana is watching my dog while Iām away.
Some of MILās comments: āAre you sure Diana will be okay with him?ā āOh, heās going to her house? How do you think thatās going to turn out??ā
āIdkā¦ I mean, I hope it works out. Whatever you guys decide I guessā¦ā Then she laughs and nods her head.
Keep in mind- they donāt even know Diana. Itās not like sheās this horrible person or something. Like they actually care about Diana in this situation š¤£ Has nothing to do with the dog, either. They just want to complain about something and challenge me.
Some comments from SIL:
āWhy donāt you just board him?ā I proceeded to explain I donāt want to board my dog because 1 it costs money and 2 I donāt trust the other dogs. Heās a smaller breed and I just donāt trust strangers with him when thereās larger dogs around who I donāt know. Then, SIL says āwell you can request to have your dog be alone and not in contact with the other dogsā She kept going on, trying to challenge me as to why I wonāt board my dog.
Then, she made a comment that I know was directed towards me and the situation. Sheās going on a vacation this year and decided to board her cat. She says āIf Iāve got money to go on a vacation, then I must have money to board my cat. I might as well spend the money. Plus, why burden someone with my cat?ā Lol I see right through her and this was a jab directed at me to try and make me feel bad for having my friend watch my dog. I honestly do NOT feel like itās bad or a burden on my friend, especially since she loves my dog and is willing to do it. Iām not forcing herā¦ haha!
I can guarantee you if I questioned SIL about who is watching her kids, sheād be furious.
Love this idea. I will 100% be doing this! Actually, I canāt wait!! Haha.
I love this and Iām on the verge of doing it! My bf tells me not to, but idk if Iāll be able to not ask them this š¤£
This is why I canāt stand being around them most of the time! It is so odd and unnecessary.
Totally agree!! Itās beyond me! They are like this with everything! Super judgy and care way too much what other people are doing.
Oh, 100%. Iāve wondered this and my gut tells me they did! If only we had our house cameras up back then š
Wackadoodles hahahaš Thank you! Totally agree with you!!
This is great!!! I love it. Yeah, youāre probably right. She doesnāt have anyone to watch her cat, so sheās making boarding sound like the absolute best option because it makes her insecure that no one can watch, or is willing to watch, her catā¦pretty odd thing to be insecure about, but thatās just her as a person in a nutshell.
Hahaha ouch that would really piss her off š
Thank you for this comment. Itās very helpful. We did ask them first as they watched my dog in the past, but they are now unable to do so. MIL doesnāt want to stay at our place anymore and leave her dog with her roommate. SILās cat is scared of the dog. I think itās number two(the second one you said).
Omg my cousin travels with her dog and it annoys certain family members for some reason. Whatās up with people? Why does it concern them? Iām convinced theyāre jealous they canāt travel so they need something to nit pick.
Also, damnā¦ in laws are your neighbors?? Iām so sorry to hear that lol
I just told Diana everything and sheās totally up for this lol she said sheās going to take even more photos than she planned on taking! LOL

I couldnāt have said it better! Thank you so much for your comment. Itās validating and what you are saying is very accurate. I started limiting what I tell them about my life. I get better as time goes on. I tread lightly with what I share and just let them talk about themselves more.
Haha. They think their ways of doing things are so superior!
