AITA for not supervising my dogs?
Last weekend I went to an outdoor BBQ at a friend’s house. Our kids are friends and there was one other family in attendance who also have kids that are friends with us. I messaged in the group chat asking the homeowner if I could bring the dogs along.
They are 3yo Labrador retrievers and the kids of all families love them. The homeowner said yes and the other family in attendance thumbs-up’d the message. I know they don’t have allergies to dogs as they’ve been to ours many times and been fine with the dogs.
We were outside relaxing and chatting while the kids were playing on the lawn with the dogs. The dogs were running around and enjoying themselves too. Obviously being both male dogs they like to mark and would occasionally stop to take a wee in the bushes etc. At one point my kid came up to me and said “Jake did a poo” so I went over and cleaned it up. I bagged it and took it home with me to throw out when we left. The other dog did a poo right in front of myself and the home owner. I again cleaned it up straight away.
The homeowner sent me a message later that night saying I should have taken them to toilet beforehand, and that it’s gross letting them toilet in plain sight. I didn’t see the big issue…I cleaned it up, dogs poop. He didn’t have to sit there watching the dog poop. I get that some people don’t like dogs, but he let me bring them. I apologised but really don’t see the issue.
