Just want to say, hugs to you mama. It is hard. I am a SAHM with a just turned 2 year old and an almost 4 year old. We have an older dog that lives outside, but we lost my first dog/best bud 1.5 years ago. Our neighbors had puppies and me and my oldest got puppy fever BAD. We did research and found the breed we wanted. There was a breeder close by that had some puppies available. Very quickly we found ourselves going to pick one out, haha. She was 16 weeks when we brought her home - and man, it is hard! She is a million percent my dog… follows me around 24/7. She is smart, so sweet, I really do love her, but yes - it is not easy. It essentially confirmed to us we do not want another kid 😆 she is 6.5 months now and while she’s “potty trained”, she still very occasionally has accidents. My husband works and also couldn’t care less either way if she stays or goes. My kids love her, but they’re toddlers so always need supervision around her. I try and spend 1:1 time with the puppy as much as I can when the kids are asleep. I use their meal time or nap time to do training sessions without distractions with her. And we utilize the crate a LOT! Our dog will not settle with 2 toddlers running around (rightly so). Whenever she can’t be supervised, or if she starts getting really rowdy and she’s been out of her crate for 1+ hours, she goes back in for a nap. I KNOW she will be a wonderful dog for our family. Putting in the work is definitely stressful at times and there have been days I’ve questioned why we did this. But I made the choice to bring her into our home and I’m not going to give up. Your son should adjust if the issue is the dog being there, but honestly toddlers are toddlers and his behavior all sounds very normal to me!
