Where did I go wrong?

[Pawsitive Thinking]

My daughter uttered words last night that I hoped I would never hear...................."Mum, they are only dogs"

Too late to put her up for adoption I suppose................I remember the days when she used to say how she was the envy of her friends because her mum loved having lots of animals around **sigh**

..sigh..buck up, those years are only temporary, annoying at times, but temporary

But not too late to take the money you were going to spend on her driving lessons and paying her first couple of months' rent on a flat. Then tell her the rest is up to her!

17

That explains it.. I went through some " sibling rivalry" with my daughter verses the dogs at that age too. Be prepared for the " you love the dogs more than you do me!" statement. ( My reply was ' well they never complain about anything..." with a grin on my face..)

Thanks! I'll remember that one

Just the opposite over here. My daughter gives me an update on her dog every mornin by e-mail.I know exactly when she groomed her, when she fed her, how the dog acted during the evening and especially just what cute things this dog does that is almost human. I almost can't bear to open my mail each morning...lol...Believe me, when your daughter gets over this stqage she will become another dog fanatic.

My daughter is like that now- even asks how my dogs are before asking how I am .. lol. But she wasnt like that at 17. She loved animals but once in a while- you get one of those comments.... lol. Didnt last long- but it was there..

I agree - hold tight and remember its only temporary!

OR, you could say, "well they ALWAYS eat their vegetables!"

[JenBKR]

How in the world did this happen? I think you need to send her to boot camp or something

or................"at least they don't want driving lessons/concert tickets/sleepovers/taking here, there and everywhere............"
