Anyone else grossed out by animal fur? I do not want it around my baby at all. my in laws have so many dogs…and while they clean as much as they can…they still have so much hair in their house and I dont want my kid on their floor…and I am almost to the point where i do not want them coming to my house anymore because their clothes are always covered in dog hair. I just think animals are gross…would it be wrong if we only met in public palces from now on?
Help a mama out and respond anonymously on our forum. Would it be wrong of me to only meet my in-laws in public?

Yes it’s very wrong. Do you want to completely ruin your marriage and the relationship the in laws have with your child? Actually, you probably don’t even care. Sounds like you have serious issues.

Life is way too short. And you are worried about someone that owns pets to come into your home. You’re really reaching here and I’m not sure you’re going to get the answer you are looking for here. I feel bad for your in laws for having you as a daughter in law.

I understand where you’re coming from, I also don’t like the shedding from cats or dogs and think it’s kinda nasty but it’s mostly a fear thing because I’m always scared I’m going going get hair in my eyes or mouth🤣 I would take baby there but maybe just hold him.
You lost me at “I just think animals are gross”
Have you met children?

Rude so wrong to deprive your kid of family over animals
You’re an animal with hair as well.
This sounds like a phobia and I would look into that for your own sake. But it’s okay to hold boundaries for your comfort as well.

My mother in law has a cat and has hair everywhere, but I’m genuinely allergic to cats. So when I go over she makes sure to clean as best as possible but it’s hard with her age so I take 2 allergy pills before I go over and once my allergies start getting bad then we all go enjoy the rest of the day sitting outside in the front yard and will even have lunch or dinner there. I’d be a total asshole if I didn’t let her see her granddaughters because of cat hair.
They can come over to your place
Don’t let animal lovers shame you. Do what makes you feel comfortable. How would people react if you said they smoke inside their home. Not everyone likes animals or animal hair.

Coming from the point of view of someone that cannot stand loose hair I totally feel this. Butttt it’s something we must tolerate for our loved ones. If it’s not hurting your health and just causing a little extra cleaning then is it really worth causing a whole deal over? Probably not. It will be ok.
Wow! I can understand about the animal hair but to say they are gross??? There are people that are more gross than animals

I have 5 dogs and agree it is gross, I vaccume twice a day and clean constantly. I see nothing wrong with meeting in public. It’s your kiddo and you as their mamma knows best for your child. You do you

I’m not a fan of animal hair either! I have a dog but he doesn’t shed as much as others. Other family members have dogs and I’ll never forget being at one’s house, sitting on the couch eating kfc and seeing dog hair fly up when I sat my drink down.
I would just deal with it the best you could. If any of you have allergies, then I just wouldn’t go.

It’s kind of impersonal and a bit rude. Fur babies aren’t gross, but I understand about your baby crawling on the floor. Maybe take a pack and play with you.
I’m not sure what public places would be cleaner. Have you seen public places?

Yeah, it’s gross, but i don’t think it’s worth jeopardizing a child’s relationship with his/her grandparents over.
Now, if it’s to the point of being unsanitary or your kid has allergies, that’s a definite “no, my kid isn’t going there”

Did you know that children that are raised around pets have fewer allergies than children that have no pets? Put down a blanket for the baby to lay or crawl on. I wouldn’t worry about it. Go home & bathe the child when you go home! Children that play in the mud are healthier also.

Dogs can actually help babies build immune systems, if you keep your kid in a bubble he/she will get sick OFTEN. Those dogs are part of their family, a family you chose when you had a baby with their son. It’s not hard to clean up, and unless you have a allergy (which they make meds for) then it’s unfair to your baby and the in laws to keep them away or only meet certain places. The entire world is covered in germs, pet hair should be the least of your worries

A lot of animal owners would think babies are gross. Should they basically tell people they don’t want to be around them because babies are gross? They might be covered in baby fluids? Come on now, this is a bit much. I’ve got two kids, 3 cats and a dog. Two of my cats are long haired. My kids are perfectly healthy and happy and being around animals has helped them develop empathy and emotional intelligence.
It sounds more like you have a hang up and are depriving your kids of something that will benefit them in the long run. Get over it for yourself and for your kids’ sake. Also, in-laws are also very important for kids to be around. You’re being selfish. Full stop.

I’m guessing first kid. Expose your child to the animals. Good for them in many ways including reducing the chance of allergies to animals. Also, chill.

Wouldn’t the dog hair be on them whether in public or at your house? At least at your house you can make sure your floor is clean and nobody picks up other germs you’d be risking.

Or you could have lint brushes for them to use when they are over…if your child is covered in major hair when you are over there then i would find it hard to be there because little ones tend to put everything in their mouths

I’m sure it’s not going to hurt your child, it’s good for their immune system to be exposed to a few germs, however a broken relationship with your in laws might impact your family and this will hurt your child in the future! Please think carefully before doing this, just remember they are your husbands parents and this is going to hurt peoples feelings, I feel you are being a bit selfish! You said they are quite clean so what’s your issue?

That’s a bit dramatic don’t you think? 
if they’re so covered in hair meeting in a public place won’t change anything. Your hubby and in-laws will be pissed when they find out the reasoning. There won’t be anyway to come back from that either. If you have a decent relationship with them now prepare to flush that down the toilet.
