Today, my husband bought me a puppy. When my daughter got home I showed her the puppy, but all she said was, “Eww, I am not cleaning it or walking it.” She’ll make a fantastic mother one day, I’m sure of it. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, for my birthday, my mum got me a puppy. I have never expressed any interest in owning a dog. She insists it’s a thoughtful gift but when I look at it, all I see is a bunch of responsibility, training it, extra bills, smells, taking it for walks, chewed furniture. Bollocks to this. FML
Today, I couldn’t tell that my puppy had an upset stomach before I left for work. I came home to her covered in shit inside her crate. After cleaning her up and almost being done with the mess, my husband found where she had tried to lick herself clean and then vomited it up in our bedroom. FML
Today, my kids got me a dog to replace the dog who died last year. I don’t like dogs, our old dog was my deceased wife’s dog, and I never liked it. I cared for the dog until it died of old age and fully intended to never get another one. Now I have a hyperactive puppy destroying my house. FML
Today, I told my mom that the puppy she was cuddling had a piece of dried poo stuck to its butt. Her reaction was to pluck the poo with her bare hands, put it on the coffee table next to my food, and continue cuddling. FML
Today, three days after my dog gave birth to her puppies, she actually picked them up and brought them to me. I thought it meant she trusted me with them. Nope. She was saying, "Here, they’re your problem now" because she hasn’t let them near her since, even to feed them. FML
Today, my mom bought me a puppy. I’m single, I work 14 hour days, my life is in no way suitable for pet ownership, but mom won’t take him back because she thinks I need to learn adult responsibility. I’m a senior technician with a team of 17 people, I couldn’t be more responsible if I tried. FML
Today, I invited my boyfriend over to meet my new puppy. My dog decided to take a dump on his lap. He is now not talking to me because he thinks I trained my dog to do that. FML
Today, my wife isn't speaking to me and is considering separation because I got rid of the puppy she surprised me with for my birthday. She knows I hate dogs and I'm severely allergic to them, but thought it would be a happy case of "Dad later falls in love." FML
Today, I brought my new puppy home. I saw her sniffing around, so I took her outside to do her business. She simply played in the grass for ten minutes, so I brought her in. She walked in the door, squatted, and shit. She has diarrhea. This is the fourth time today. FML
Today, I caught my dog “cleaning” the cat’s litter box. He won’t be giving me any kisses anytime soon. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Why the hell would she want kids either, also shitty of you to assume she would be a bad parent cause she wants nothing to do with a puppy she I am guessing never asked for, why should she take on the responsibilities of something YOU wanted.

YDI for assuming your daughter wants to have kids in the future.

I’m gonna go ahead and say that (assuming she even wants to have kids in the future in the first place, which is a whole different can of worms) a child you specifically chose to have is going to be very different than a dog that was forced onto you. There are, in fact, many people in this world who like kids and do not like dogs, if it comes to that. Furthermore, a pet of any kind, but especially a dog, is a family decision, where either everybody is on board or you just don’t get the pet. The dog doesn’t deserve to be in an environment where somebody hates it, and your daughter doesn’t deserve to be forced to live with an animal that can be disruptive in the best of times.

Ma'am, it's a animal. Animals are different from humans. Plus you don't even know if she wants to have children in the future. Get over it.

Your daughter sees the writing on the wall. You made a huge leap from puppy to motherhood.

Wow, really? First of all, puppies and babies are way different. Second of all, not every female wants to be a mother. Your daughter could be one of them.

Adding a pet to the family is usually a family decision. Usually you talk about it before just showing up with the pet. With young children, they adapt better if you prepare them for a change before you add a pet or another child to the family. That doesn’t mean children get to decide or veto the decisions of the adults, but it usually helps to talk it out first so they understand what is going to happen and how it will affect them… Young pets and infants have some similarities - They require care and work and are often messy. And they give love in return for love. But they are not the same. Not everyone loves a dog or cat. Puppies in particular are messy and require extra care until they are house trained. And not every female wants children, but I wouldn’t make that assumption just based on daughter’s reaction to a puppy. Not everyone sees pets as children.

It's your puppy, not hers. She doesn't have to like it. She also doesn't have to want children. I don't.

Sounds like she's got a better understanding of the responsibilities of being a parent than you do. She no doubt knew that when you got a puppy you'd try to foist the responsibilities for walking and cleaning it on her.
