Today, I went over to my neighbours' to politely complain about their dog, which had been barking non-stop for hours. This issue has been going on for months, and I finally decided today, of all days, was the day to resolve it. When I got there, they'd just got home from giving birth at the hospital. FML

It's not like they can blame you for being annoyed. You should tell them anyways. Especially if its been going on for months.

Now you'll have to listen to the dog plus a crying baby.

They might want to stop the dog's barking since they don't want the dog to wake up the newborn.

The newborn will be used to it, since they listened to it as long as the op has.

32 - Read the FML again. They just got home from having the baby. So, they should want the dog to stop barking also anyway.

36- if you know anything about fetal development you would know that she was referring to the fact that the baby heard the dog barking in the womb for months too.

41- If you know anything about infants you'd know the damn dog is still going to wake the baby.

I have two dogs and when I had my son they did not wake him at first. For the first three months newborns have a reflex that basically tunes the world out when they sleep. Well when that was over they woke him up constantly!! So you are all right really but my question is why is this even an argument?

62- How about this, if you understood any reason why I said what I said you would know that I wasn't saying that they should just let the dog bark all night and all day long, I was just clarifying to that other person that babies are able to hear in the womb since he obviously didn't know. But thanks for your stupid comment anyways.

So they should have gotten someone to sit the dog. Not your fault. Oh and you should have wished them luck with the screaming newborn AND yappy mutt! Oh, but then again, thats not going to be much fun for you. FYL

Dogs have an instinct to survive. I left mine home for a week and I came back and he had slaughtered all of my cattle.

If it isn't obvious that I'm bullshitting then you need you slap yourself.

I don't think the first thing they think of when she's about to pop out a baby is who is going to make sure their dog isn't going to bark......

Ohhhh... The story was about the newborn baby making noise as well as the dog. I thought it was just about the awkwardness of the timing (right when they got back from the hospital). Herp derp.

Welcome to life, complain about a yapping dog and maybe just maybe they'll throw in a newborn too!

Look on the bright side: Maybe from now on the dog's barking will be drowned out by the baby's crying.

Tell them to cradle the dog to sleep and have the baby put to sleep humanely... I got that wrong didn't I..

Just confine the dog to a kennel forever?

No, I meant bring it to a kennel when they aren't going to be home

If the dog isn't used to bring in a kennel and you leave it there, it's just going to whine like it dying until you let it out.

Well that will be the kennels problem, not the dog owners problem

She meant a boarding kennel where they dog sit for you, morons. And yes, they should have done so.

At best, the baby wont cry that much and you'll only have to hear the dog. Worst case scenario, the baby and dog go at it all day nonstop.

You could've worded that last part a little better.

17: I know right? But that kinda is worst case scenario. It'd make a lot of noise too..
