I agree with most everyone- but please don't take the kitten back to the shelter. Either take their advice or hime the kitten to someone you know will take care of it. Shelters are over run.
However, you were absolutely the jerk for not discussing it. Now 2 innocent animals have to pay the price. YOU keep YOUR kitten in the room.
It is possible and likely they will get used to eachother, but for some reason everyone thinks these things happen overnight. News flash, sometimes it takes years and never happens at all.
NTJ. But, she reminds me of my mother and her same reasoning to not leave him. This isn't on you, but...... it will not get better. She needs therapy to get over him. He is making her choose. Not you. I'm sorry you have to deal with this. If you can possibly get her to therapy, do. Because this is not an easy road as a daughter. Best of luck, stay strong.
She is your kid. So..... it isn't really pushing you back, it's called life and parenting. Now, sure, I see where you believe your plan is just fine. That actually depends on her major. In some career paths, the school you go to is VERY important. An Ivy league degree compared to 2 years community and 2 years university are very different.
Your talking about 2 years of pushing back retirement- for a child you brought into the world. If she can get into the Ivy League school then she must be a good student. If you can afford it, you should consider sending her to a better school. Or at least find a compromise.
I had to pay for my schooling because my parents couldn't afford it. The student debt was a bit crippling. I would have gone to a different school except I couldn't get enough financial aid. It had an impact on the opportunities I had after schooling. A very significant one.
So NTJ, but do consider how it might impact her future in the long run. If I could do it, I would be more than happy to make the "sacrifice" to a child I brought into the world.
Older cats very rarely get adopted. You can't possibly compare aggression to a dog, to a baby. You are using it against him. YTJ. Absolutely! It is 18. They do not adapt well to change. It's only been a year. Sometimes these things take longer than expected. Your husband will resent you from here on out but can't leave you because of the baby. How would you feel about getting rid of your dog. If you insist he gets rid of the cat, you should get rid of your dog. Frankly, neither pet should be rehomed over your refusal to have a freaking heart- but it would only be fair. People like you are why there's such a huge problem with too many animals in shelters.
