Help! My in-laws don't understand boundaries!

If I could turn back time, if I could find a way, I'd take back all the snakes that have hurt you...

And you'd say

And now I sound like a sketchy snake lover. I just like animals. We also have a dog, two cats and a chinchilla. That's more normal, right?? RIGHT?!

My childhood pets were hamsters and toads, and my sister had leopard geckos, a chinese water dragon, a monitor lizard, and snapping turtle and a tortoise.

Fish belong in oceans, lakes and rivers

FREE THE FISH

Fish belong on my dinner plate. 

Anecdote, I used to teach and we took the kids to an animal rescue place that specializes in exotic animals.  It is sad the number of giant reptiles and cute furry rainforest animals they had.  Why do people try to make wild animals into pets?

I'm a cat person myself.  Companionship AND low maintenance.  Win

And I really, really suck at keeping fish alive.

I would love a pet snake.

This is as close as I've gotten so far.

That thing looks like a pokemon. An adorable pokemon.

Haha actually Mudkip was made after one. I only know this because of H.

Best pokemon ever!

H and I had a ball python before we had kids.  H had one when he was a kid and really wanted another one, so we got one.  We ended up giving him to a friend who works a local zoo when we moved into our house, since we didn't really have any room for his 100 gallon tank.

We currently have a leopard gecko that I had before H and I even started dating.  DS1 loves watching him eat crickets. 

I don't think our house smells?  Maybe I just can't smell it because I live here.  I'm pretty sure my 2 dogs make more of a mess than my lizard, so if anything, my house smells like dog.

Still lol at organic, free-range snake.

I am so sorry boundaries can be tough. Have you talked to your husband at all? How does he feel about this? Have you considered talking to a counselor? I will keep you in my prayers!
