After having my daughter I dont like my dogs
My daughter is 22 months old and I still can’t stand my dogs. I thought I just had like postpartum anxiety/rage but it’s been almost two years and everything my dogs do irritates me.. I feel so guilty for feeling this way because they were my babies before my daughter but now just everything I have to do for them feels like an extra chore that I just don’t want to deal with anymore. All I can see about them is how dirty, gross and annoying they are. I feel like my house would be so much cleaner and that i would have so much less stress without them. We live in an under 1000sqft house and they are medium to large dogs, it just feels like they are always in the way or causing some kind of problem. And I already know it’s not their fault and that they didn’t ask for me to bring home a baby, but I never expected to feel this way and I hate that I do.. I’ve thought about getting on an anxiety medicine because I do seem to struggle still with the anxiety/rage even in other scenarios but is that really going to help me feel better about my dogs? My husband won’t let me rehome them and deep down I don’t want to, but I just feel like I’m at a breaking point with them.
Please no hate, i already hate myself for feeling this way, its like I’ve had some hormonal change that i can’t fix, but i just don’t know if anyone else feels this way or if i really am just alone in this. ☹️
