Anyone else get an animal forced on them?
My mom took me to donate dog for for years to get me used to dogs. But I didn’t I was still scared of medium-large dogs (5 years old)when we got our German-shepherd. I didn’t want her but my mom told me “this is your dog now, she is your responsibility.” When I tryed to say I wasn’t happy with her my mother would say “what are you going to do if you have a kid one day? If you decided you don’t want them are you just going to get ride of them?” Then throughout that week say things like “ kids who pic on animals are a sign they grow up to be killers” I’d be so scared I just shut up. When we got our second dog (11 years old) I was more interested in the computer I got for Christmas, but was in the middle of babysitting at the park when she told me to “go pick a puppy were bring a friend home for Rosie” I didn’t care much for the small dochound eather it was tiny long and fragile. My mom then told me “ ok you picked her she is your responsibility this time” when the kids I was babysitting left I tryed to protest but again she said “ what are you gonna do when you have kids are you just gonna get rid out then when it’s convenient to you?” I was scared think this would turn me into a bad mom one day so I kept the dog. Then we got our third dog because “ Rosie died and Lucy is used to having a sister so she needs a pack” Reba is our third dog I was more used to dogs at that time(14 years old) so I wanted to train the dog I got and have her be mine. But I didn’t get to pick the breed I paid for her with my savings but when mom saw the cregslist add she screamed at me “ if we go look at this litter we are taking one home do you understand me no if ands or buts!” I was already in a scared mood from that but when I met this pup I was down right crying, she was loud and overly excited my mom chewed me out the whole car ride home about if I didn’t learn to love this pup I would become a tarrable mom. I tryed but it took months to get used to her, didn’t matter if I walked her feed her or what she didn’t wanna play with me.
It’s not that I don’t like dogs it just never felt like my choice yet I get yelled at like today were I missed a few pills for her and I get more scared about being a bad mom then taking care of my dogs. For someone who had cancer being a mom has always been a huge question on my mind and it freaks me out that if I can have a kid and do that I will become a bad mom and abuse them. I understand having kids is a big choice sometimes and making the tuff calls will be hard but shouldn’t that be my choice?
