Ok, so I told dumb dumb (BM) in sort of polite, sort of not so much words that the puppy is staying with me and she'll have to get over it. I also told her that she should stop putting the kids in the middle and ask me like a normal adult with a set of cajones next time. Naturally, she got all whiney and defensive and naturally I don't give a crap anymore. She actually tried to lie to me (once again) and tell me she wasn't asking, but the kids were blah blah blah :sick: I told her word for word what transpired between the boys and I and that they have never lied to me-EVER! I also said that I would speak to them about my decision (after all I am the parent and not their friend) and that would be the end of it, and that this was the end of our conversations regarding the dog. Like I said, DH and I have long ago decided we will have to be the bad guy parents and eventually the kids will figure it's for the best.

What a whimpering weenie-her reply: "Oh I miss understood. I won't bring it up to them again. If they ask, I will tell them you already said no and to talk to you and their dad about it". You know that nasty name for the female body part that starts with a "P"-that's what I'm thinkin'
