Undermining

Another argument today over that stupid dog. I'm not speaking to him right now because I know I won't have anything nice to say if I do.

I specifically stated I did not want the dog on the leather in the new car, and we put a blanket in the back for them to stay on. My brother and I went into the mall today to grab Father's Day gifts, leaving the dogs with Shawn and Chris in the AC. Well, we come back out and sure enough Tio is in the front seat of the car. So flippin tired of being undermined. So I immediately layed into him because I can't let it slide- how are we ever going to raise kids together if he keeps doing that? So he starts his defense of 'oh, but his nails are clipped and its cramped.' Oh really? Funny that you put the smaller dog in the front instead of the bigger dog. And of course now there is dog hair all over the front seats.

So then he gets snappy at me about how it's cramped back there and I shoot back that we could've left Tio home (since we managed fine last night with an extra cat carrier in my lap, even) and he says maybe we all should've just stayed home. I offered to take him home right there because I'm coming down for Fathers Day and I told him yesterday he didnt have to come down if he didnt want to.

He tried to do a quick pacifying apology but I didn't accept it. There's a bigger issue at play right now than just letting the dog in the front seat today.
