I (F) am moving into a house with my longterm partner (M) of 4 years who is previously divorced and resides in a condo. The house was purchased without me knowing after him, his 12 y/o daughter, and his mother had been looking around at houses per the excitement and request of said daughter.

I decided to just be excited about it even though I felt left out from the decision, looking forward to decorating the house (on my dime) as I love interior design and decoration. I began to tell them both ideas I had, one of which included the one of two living rooms not having a TV and being utilized as a library of sorts given that the downstairs living room and two of the bedrooms, including hers, will have a TV.

This got back to his mother who then asked him why we wouldn't have a fourth TV in the house, and now I am being strong-armed into putting this into the library room. He said he didn't want to upset his daughter by not putting another TV in the house and I said I didn't care. It was harsh, yeah. I know. But it seems ridiculous to be bowing down over a fourth tv.

This isn't the first nor the last of things regarding this house I am being pushed out on or my opinion is asked and then entirely disregarded, which I would get into if this post wasn't already long enough, all instances including his mother and his daughter. Meanwhile I am going to be expected to pay bills at this house on top of another property I already take care of.

AITAH for saying I didn't care and just generally being upset over this?

Hello friends! So, the title is pretty much the question! I've got an English Coonhound as a buddy now! He is still quite young (2 years 2 months), rescued from a shelter after being surrendered not once but twice for his hound qualities (prey drive).

We are working on recall and redirection when he is out in the yard (handles much better on the leash) but the biggest hurdle we have yet to overcome are the two cats in the house.

We have eased them twice now, and while he isn't interested in hurting them or anything of the like, he just wants to stand and bark at them incessantly. It's a little harder to redirect in the house I feel, but I was wondering if anyone who has worked with hounds has any tips on how to ease guys together? Certainly there must be a way or a hound would never quit while actually working.

I know this isn't going to be an easy one given the breed.

Thank you much, sending love to you and all of your pups!
