My pops

Here's an entertaining story about my dad. My partner and I have a small dog who is a riot and is allergic to certain grains. If she eats them she gets sick and refuses to eat, completely miserable all day. We took her in from my parents after I had my own place for the sake of her health and happiness. My dad has a habit of feeding her everything he eats, and still tries to. We see him every other week or so to help him with some projects and every time he tries to feed her everything. I've tried discussing, bargaining, reprimanding, everything and he still does it! But I finally got him to stop.You see, my dad wants grandchildren bad. He knows my stance and we argue every time I remind him that he's not getting any (only child). My partner and I are very much on the same page here and my dad insists that we have at least three brats. So a month ago we're over there and he feeds her when I'm not looking, I catch him and say, "this is another reason you're not getting grandkids."Cue shocked pikachu face and him asking, "what? Whyyyyy?""Because if you can't follow my boundaries even when it hurts pet, then you're not going to do it with kids. You know partner is celiac, if we had kids and they were celiac too you'd probably still give them gluten. I can't trust you not too."You guys, we saw him last weekend and he actually asked if it was okay for him to feed my dog. WHAT. I'm simultaneously amused and a little bit annoyed that I had to bring up baby goblins for him to even consider what I said. via /r/childfree https://ift.tt/2Ghf8bn
