McKenna wants a bunny. Like really REALLY badly. It’s all she talks about. She has been keeping a list on the Notes app of her iPad. It includes all the things she needs for this bunny she wants as a pet. I’m talking toys, bedding, potty things, house, leash, cute collar, brush. Clothes…? 😳
For the bottom basement price of ONE MILLION DOLLARS, you can own a bunny, too.
She knows I am allergic to cats. But don’t worry, she did the research.
Mom. Did you know that just because someone is allergic to cats doesn’t mean they are also allergic to bunnies? Isn’t that cool? I bet you aren’t allergic to bunnies. Can I get one? Please? PLEASE?
I don’t have the capacity for a bunny. Or a cat. Or a dog. Or a houseplant. I keep three children and a husband alive. Isn’t that enough? I kill everything else. Literally. Every plant I bring near this house dies a slow painful death from either over or under watering. I haven’t figured out which yet. I just cannot be responsible for one more thing.
She will not give up. Like all children begging for a pet, she swears she will take care of hypothetical bunny. She will clean up after it. Feed it. Bath it. All the things.
Says the child who forgets to bring her own damn lunch to school.
She will not give up. Today I found this picture in my car. She swears she didn’t leave it there. 🤔 She was even offended I would suggest such a thing. 🙄 But the math isn’t mathing if you know what I mean.
She regularly asks me to find a shelter where we can go pet bunnies. She wants to pet sit a bunny—which may actually be my way out of this. If she has to actually care for someone else’s pet—including the disgusting litter box—she may just give up.
Anyone have a bunny they need watching? In their home, please.

It sure sounds as if she is starting to wear you down! I do understand your hesitance and to be honest, rabbits can be smelly; however, it would make her day/week/year/possibly her life!

She’s wearing my patience thin is what she is doing. But I WILL NOT be adding another living thing to this home. Ever. Even if it makes her entire life. She can get one when she moves out!

She is relentless! Hold firm mama!
I fear I will be in this mess at some point. Our dear, sweet kitty is 17.5 years old and will not be with us for very much longer. And she wants another cat. And we don’t. Uuuugh.

Life was a lot easier with Papa had a couple of dogs. But his are since gone and now she has it in her head if she just annoys me enough that it will happen.
It’s NEVER gonna happen.

I’m on your side here. Pee and poo. Kids make lots of promises they will never keep. Enough said. Cute picture, though.

don’t do it! A dog would be better but you have so much going on maybe later. We did give into a hamster (4!) after much begging and research and an all night PowerPoint. It was cute, only escaped a couple of times. But there was really no playing with it and dad ended up cleaning that cage every week. But I did get credit for saying yes after I swore no pets that could get lost in my bed. So I’m kind of 80-20 against.😉
