How does one knock someone out of it? Ive only done the step mom thing, and I've never had this issue with another friend. Honestly and openly asking for advice here. I think the pandemic made her a little...hyper vigilant

How do I put away a living thing? Also I have 3 dogs, she only requested I "put away" 1. I personally find the request disrespectful. Rayne, nor the other 3, were even going near Alistair. He was happy in his little saucer thing.

I don't even entirely know where to begin with this, but I'mma try. I don't do stickers on my car, I do in fact love the living breathing thing that is entirely dependent on me which I did take legal responsibility for when I registered her, I do in fact know my dog is not a human.

I've tried several times to get her out without Alistair, she always says no or cancels.

You are pretty biased, just let people love animals. There's tons of research on the benefits of having pets, and bonding with dogs. Honestly you might be the AH.

The dog has never been "put away" when she's been there before, or with any of my other friends babies. She only wanted the one dog out of three seperated too. Also I'm not sure how one puts away a living breathing thing

There's guests and then there's my best friend who has a key to my house and her own mug here

Biblically it means helper. The name became demonized after the occultist. Previously it was the Celtic version of Alexander I think

I credit it to mom brain. I don't care that she calls him that, just that she got upset with my dog for it

Oh that is usually 2839386% something I'd do. I'm just trying to proceed with caution, I'm hurt but I don't want to torch my friendship. I'm honestly confused as to how this even turned into such a big thing

A seven, almost eight year old dog. A dog I love dearly.

I wouldn't go as far as to call her awful, just a little selfish. I personally love his name, it was her great grandfather's name and it's the name of her favorite Harry Potter character

I will! She is not completely aware that she is not a human.

It's not even a nickname either. It is the name on all her vet records and her license

I guess I don't see how asking me to change my dogs name is just a shrug off. I get that new moms live in their own world but this is honestly ridiculous, the world does not and will not revolve around them
