I am running myself ragged here. My husband wants all these animals…ie: 2 dogs, 2 birds, a rabbbit and a horse. Although he takes care of the horse I am left with feeding, watering, cleaning up after all the other animals. I didn’t want pets to begin with…to me it’s an extra responsibilty I did not want to havre to take on. Another example my daughter wants a rabbit so after telling her she would have to water, feed and clean it’s cage….it always ends up me doing. She is only 5 so I understand if she forgets without being reminded but I end up doing it all. Im tired of it all and ready for some kind of change or I think the animals need to go. Another example I can tell him to clean up the dog mess and he says ok I will tomorrow or this afternoon and doesn’t do it, in the meantime if my 80+ yr. old neighbor says something to me and I mention it to my husband he usually gets it all cleaned up within a few hrs. or the next day. What gives?!?!?!?
I agree no 5 y/o is responsible enough to handle animal care of their own…I told my husband this….No-one listens…they live in the moment…not that these animals will be around for the next 15-20 yrs…I even went as far to telling my husband I spoke with a lady who raises bunnies and she told me the same thing, we should wait.
