OK we haven't told DH's parents about the kittens since they do not like cats. Until today..... They are coming to town tomorrow and we thought it best to let them know. To put it bluntly, his mom kinda freaked out a bit. She was saying how can you afford it and what about the extra rent. I did NOT tell her that we haven't told the manager that we have kitties yet. She would REALLY blow a gasket then.
I told her that there is no odor in the apartment since DH scoops the litter box at least 4 times a day and the waste is put in a sealed container. (an empty litter container) She seems to think that we shouldn't have our babies but it is OK for DH's brother to have a HUGE dog, a smaller dog and 3 rabbits in their house. We don't have kids and the kitties keep DH company while I am working. (DH is disabled). They seem to think we shouldn't have pets in a 1 br apartment.
How should I handle when they come tomorrow? They think they are cute but extravagant. They really are not that much. That is what I told her anyway. We didn't tell them for exactly this reason. Even though we are in our 50's, they try to tell us how to live. What should I say?
Thanks for all your help
