Crap.. I've had loads of fun decorating all my houses and not one room was a nursery. Oh.. unless you want to count my work room/sewing room in my first house where I built a corner box for one of my poodles to have her puppies. Closest thing to a nursery I ever had. LOL

Ya know.. I think all the pressure and comments drove us deeper into CFness. We were 'on the fence' when we got married. When those comments started.. thick and fast almost as soon as we got up the asile... I think we started to rebel. I was one of those kyds who, when told what to do... I did something else. LOL
I think I also got more and more poodles just out of spite. My parents too my first dog from me when I was 10 becauseTHEY didn't want it. Then, when I wanted my first poodle when I was 20.. they pitched a fit and didn't want it in the house. I got it anyway and my parents grew to love him so much that they wouldn't let me take him with me when I got married. So.. I got another one....and another... and one died... and I got another.... and on and on. (Never more than 3 at a time) So I guess I was paying my parents back for taking away 2 of my dogs by not having kyds and just getting more and more poodles. LOL 41 years after I got the first pup... I am still a 'poodle mom' One time I just flat out told my parents... "You have poodles for grandchyldren. Get used to it and be glad you have that" Yep... I was a smart arse kid.. and young adult.

Sorry, but at 20 you were not a "kid." You were an adult who should have refrained from getting a pet until you had your own place. I am now on my second adult dog. My childhood dog died at almost 18 years old when I was out of college. My parents ended up watching my idiot sibling's dog die of old age. I also ended up with said sibling's second dog that I paid dearly to keep alive the last year of her life.
Long story short, nobody should bring a pet into their home unless they are an independent, self supporting a adult.

Sorry Starlady,
I thought from your post you just showed up with a dog one day. My bad reading skills.
In that case, I'm not sure why they would complain. I think I have just known entirely too many people who stayed at home or boomeranged through their 20's who acquired a pet that got dumped on the parents without notice or just dumped period because they just had to have a dog or other pet when they had no stable home period. These are the same people who also usually boomeranged with spawn later in life though.
Your situation is totally different in that case so I apologize again.

When we bought our current house, also a 4 bedroom, we didn't get any bingoes. We did, however get some rumblings from both sides about "in law suites" and room for our parents to "take care of them when they get old".
Nope. Not gonna happen. I'm a very private person and an introvert, and peacefully coexisting with my husband is enough for me. The only way I'm living with any more people is if something economically catastrophic happens and we need to take on paying roommates.
