Yes I would sell the dog without even asking him
Iād probably be the one doing this 
. Pets IMO are easier than kids and they listen better 
. All jokes aside though just explain the feelings and maybe negotiate and ask for more help with the pet he brought home because you already have a lot on your plate. . .

Yes. A new addition to the family is a big commitment that should be decided on by both people. Especially if you will be the main person caring for the animal.

I feel like youāre blowing this out of proportion a little bit. Yes not talking about getting an animal is kind of a shitty situation, but I wouldnāt be mad about it.
Try to think of the positives.
Having a animal is a huge learning curve for children. You can teach them how to be gentle with a animal, how to feed them, how to play with them safety, take them on walks, etc.
And eventually youāll most likely learn to love the animal as your own child.
Iād say give it time so you can adjust. And possibly talk to your partner about talking to you first before taking such a big leap.
But I would never return, abuse, or get rid of that animal. Your partner obviously saw something positive in the situation, so maybe you could try seeing the positive as well.
Iām one of those people who wants to take in every stray animal, or childā¦ I may get overwhelmed occasionally but the more i have to do and the faster I need to move the happier I am. Right now I only have 2 babies and no pets because we live in an upstairs apartment, I will say Iām grateful for just having the 2 boys under 2 right now since we are all sick, donāt think I could teach and take out a new pet right nowā¦ you do have every right to be upsetā¦ he should have asked you, or he should be able to take FULL responsibility for the animal otherwise instead of just dumping it off on you along with the 4 kids

we all have opinions. me personally I wouldnāt be. I love dogs they are amazing. however I am not you. I had 4 kids and 3 dogs. some days were exhausting but others were amazing
Did you ask the dog, if he likes u???. With 4 kids he or she sure can be a big helpā¦ What kind of dog is it. Due you stop and the dog didnāt ask for you.
I have four kids and husband has brought home animals. We both work together caring for them. Not to mention itās a great way to show children responsibility and empathy.
Our kids walk around with animals on pillows, clean them, play with them, and feed them.
GROW UP!
My family has rescued a total of 13 dogs, I fostered 4 kids on top of my 2 & now I have 3 grandsons that I help with while taking care of 3 senior dogs, one with cancerā¦ & Remodeling a whole house.
Pull your panties out of a bunch & provide the dog a good home with lots of love. It may end up saving you or your kids lives one day

I guess it depends on why? Was the dog in danger? Was the dog homeless or starving? Then no i wouldnt. If he bought it from the pet store and brought it home than yes

Nopeā¦ we have 5 dogs because my husband did that twice. Once with a full grown pitty and the second time he came walking out of the gas station with a little baby 
Yes, I would. We donāt have the space for another dog or a life that is conducive to caring for one properly - ie, getting it the right amount of exercise, attention, affection, etc. and Iād be annoyed he didnāt speak to me about it first. I adore animals, but that isnāt enough for one to be cared for probablyā¦it has to be a good situation for the dog too.
Bring all the doggos!!!
We have 4 kids, 2 dogs, 3 cats, a water dragon, a bearded dragon, 2 green anoles, 2 African side neck turtles, 3 tree frogs, a hamster, several dozen fish, snails, lobstersā¦ I doubt I would even notice if my husband brought another dog into this zooā¦
In all seriousness though, it is something that he should have talked to you about first, since youāll share responsibility for the dog. Me personally though, I wouldnāt care! My husband can bring all the dogs home!

Me personally noā¦means he found the poor thing as heās a trucker. If we couldnāt keep then Iād rehome. I actually live in an area that horrible monsters dump dogs at and have found homes for a couple of dogs. So I can understand being annoyed though. I once almost got a kitten that way, but one of the other guys said his wife wanted it. 2 of my animals are rescue/rehome pets.
4 kids are a lot of work! How old are they? Teach the kids to help care for the dog also.
No lol I have 5 dogs so I would be the one to bring it home before him.

I wouldnāt necessarily be mad. I would want to know what made him think that bringing the dog home was a good idea? Have the kids been asking for a pet? Was there a concern for the dogās welfare in its previous home? When I was a teen we had two dogs. One afternoon my step-dad surprised us with a super tiny fluff-ball of a puppy. It turned out that while he was working on a construction job, he heard this puppy crying. Upon inspection, he found the dog in the tub of the bathroom. Poor thing had never been groomed. Her hair was tangled and matted. The woman who owned her couldnāt care less. He offered her $50 and she gladly took it. We got her groomed and she lived with us for almost 14 years before she passed.
You didnāt mention the ages of the kids. The oldest ones should be enlisted to help care for the new dog. Your husband needs to also understand that HE is expected to help care for this new family member.

Yall need to quit acting like heās bringing home roses or some shit. āIād be amazedā or āid be so happyā man shes got 4 kids! The budgeting has to be there, the space, the time and energy, this is bringing in a whole other mouth, heart and body into your home. It should be discussed
I feel like your feeling are justified. Itās alot of work that you werenāt planning on especially if you happen to be a sahm and he works outside of the home. He should have talked to you first.
I wudnt be impressed tbh
Haha my husband would have divorced me by now haha I bring home lots of animals lol if I had to wait for him to say yes then we would never have one
My husband did the same thing. I have three kids and am also the one who takes care of the dogs.
I was upset at first but in the end shes the best dog and she only follows me around.
You should be glad youāre not married to a veterinarian. The last 25 years mine has taken on a myriad of cats and dogs that were brought in to be euthanized or owners were unable to care for. Probably at least 20 and the teenage daughter added a couple of more. They require time and attention, but the love they bring to a home is immeasurable. Our last, a little beagle mixed girl is my favorite of all time and I love her dearly. If you can accept the dog and use it as a responsibility teaching moment, everyone wins.

hi, i would be your husband. Its a dog, its a pet. Yeah be irritated for a bit and just ask next time its a discussion. Beyond that, eh youāll be fine. My husband doesnt necc want all the animals- but we have 3 dogs, 2 cats, fish, 3 guinea pigsā¦ He said to me I dont care, I know you love them and want them so we have them.
I think itās a decision that should be made between the two of you butā¦how old are your kids? Give them some responsibility to help take care of the dog.
my husband did just thatāthe dog was old, long matted fur, couldnāt see because of the hair in his eyesāwell and all kinds of health issuesāmy husband said āI couldnāt leave the poor guy there.ā He ended up being the most wonderful dog.

I was furious when my ex did that to me. The first year we were married he gave me a puppy for Christmas, already knowing that I didnāt like dogs. He thought heād change my mind. We lived in an apartment and both or us worked full time. I came home a few times to several items being chewed up, and poop in every room. After a few weeks the dog caught distemper and died. A sad ending, but problem solved.
The same way he brought the dog home is the same way you get rid of it. 2 can play that game.
