Dog mum guilt
Show your support
Definitely not alone in feeling like this. We’ve got 3 dogs and a 4.5 month old baby. I find it so hard to split my time between them all (although they’re happy enough to play in the garden with balls) the guilt is still there! X
You are not alone 🥺 I have two huskies and they need so much exercise but my 8months old doesn’t like to stay in the baby carrier for too long, so I struggle to give them longer walks. I really hope that everything works out for you and your family, it’s hard, but eventually everyone will find their place 💕 we just love them in the way we can in the different stages.
Definitely not alone. Although on all comments responding people have at least 2 dogs it seems, my 4 year old Italian greyhound Velcro dog is completely on her own and so used to having all our attention and I now have a 7 week old newborn FTM. It breaks my heart and I’m trying to give her all the love but naturally I have to hold the baby all the time too!
@Shannen omg this made me want to cry, I have a 3 year old Italian greyhound too and he breaks my heart at the moment! It gets easier my little girls now 7 months but it’s still very very hard to split time between them both!
I have two dogs, aged 14 and 15 who had been my whole world for all these years until my son was born 9 months ago. While they still get walked for at least 1-2 hours a day (while LO naps in the pushchair), I feel so bad that I don't have the time for cuddles, playing and training indoors that they used to get. It breaks my heart 😭.
Yes it’s the worst feeling 😢 ,, is there somewhere off leash you can take your pups and have your toddler with you ? Just an idea 💡 as soon as I found some great new spots for walks outside of our apartment it’s like a whole new world opened up. I posted on my local community on Facebook. Good luck 🫶🏼 can tell your an awesome and caring dog mum just by your post 🐾❤️🔥
All the time. It feels like they aren’t a priority but I want them to be!
Everyday! I have 2 dogs also and I really struggle to give them the attention that they used to get it’s doesn’t seem to bother them as they have each other but makes me feel guilty daily xx
