On top of this, the mum explained that the dog needs to be walked every three hours, hair gets everywhere and the dog barks every time her children are sleeping.
She wrote: "I feel like I’m trying my best to adjust to having 2 kids and now this dog is thrown in the mix and I’m just frustrated with him all of the time. I truly can’t find the energy, time and compassion to deal with him and I’m not sure what to do."
Replying to her concerns, another parent said: "The dog is your husbands responsibility. Dont feel pressure to bond with it. Obviously do basic care tasks like checking water or letting it outside if you can, but dont stress about bonding with it.
"Your husband brought it into the home, its his job to take care of it AS WELL AS all the other child related tasks he should be doing. Make that crystal clear to him that you still expect all these other things to be done."
A second parent added: "Getting a pet is a household decision, this reads like you came home with a new baby and a few weeks later your husband shows up with a dog.
"Look, I’m an animal lover but under no circumstances is that okay, you have every right to feel frustrated about this addition if you didn’t agree to it."
