A Domestic Dilemma: Dog, Baby, and a Mother's Plea 🐕‍🦺👶💔

In the midst of a domestic battlefield, our protagonist is at her wit's end. Between the constant cleaning, the dog's anxiety, and concern for her baby's safety, she's left questioning if the dog should stay. Despite the husband's efforts to help, it seems the dog's presence is causing more harm than good. As the dog's jealousy and anxiety escalate, so does the tension in their home. Will the dog stay, or will it go? And who gets to make that call? Let's see what the internet thinks of this hairy situation... 🕵️‍♀️🌐

YTA You're not communicating. You have a problem, and fixing it doesn't require getting rid of the dog. It does require your husband actively working with and training the dog. It does require your husband actively cleaning more, including the floor. It does require you telling him all these things. If your family finances can handle it, I would recommend an outside cleaning service that has experience with new babies and dogs that will come in every other week and deep clean everything so your husband just has to keep on top of the day to day. 🚩
