If you are struggling with looking after the children, or more specifically the youngest little girl, then why make more stress and anxiety for yourself and get a puppy? We thought a good couple of years before getting our puppy and as much as they are cute and fun, it is seriously hard work training them in the early days. Did she really need a puppy right now or did she think it would help occupy the girls? This woman spends far too much time vlogging, posting stories etc..(her husband is clearly involved) - what is it that she’s trying to achieve?
I’ve got to be honest, I acted in a very similar way, and got a puppy after seeing that it had been abused. Looking back I was definitely feeling very manic and I made the wrong decision. Everything I did so was so similar to Mrs.meldrum. Looking back I can see that I was wrong and was led by my MH issues. I can’t see her realising that anytime son though!
