<p>A woman says her mother-in-law is bringing her chihuahua with her every time she comes over — and the dog isn't potty-trained</p>
<p>In a post shared to Reddit, the woman writes that the dog is making a mess in her baby's play area</p>
<p>Now, she's debating how to speak to her mother-in-law about the situation</p>
<p>A woman says she's had it with her mother-in-law's insistence on bringing her non-potty-trained chihuahua along on her visits.</p>
<p>In a post shared to Reddit, the anonymous woman writes: "My mother-in-law watches our baby once a week and brings her chihuahua with her when she comes. The past couple of months, I've been figuring out that her dog has been peeing on our carpet and also peeing on one of our baby's play mats."</p>
<p>"I've just been putting up with it and washing the mat in the washing machine after each visit," she writes. "Tonight, I decided to take the blue light to our carpet and noticed pee stains in multiple places throughout our home."</p>
<p>On a recent visit, the woman noticed her mother-in-law instructing the dog to use a potty pad, though it's clear to her that isn't what's happening regularly.</p>

<p>"I am nervous to say anything to her because she is a good person, but she is VERY easily offended and I really need her to continue watching our baby," she writes. "My husband also isn't happy that the dog is peeing, but he has not said anything to his mother. Am I wrong to think that it be his place to say something? Am I blowing this out of proportion?"</p>

<p>Others on Reddit are now weighing in on the situation, with many arguing the husband is the one who should deal with it.</p>
<p>"Your husband should bring up this issue with his mother," writes one commenter. "Because this is a sanitation issue that could very easily impact your baby (especially with the dog peeing on the baby's mats), I would insist the dog wear a belly band when it comes over for a while. The issue can be revisited when the dog is better trained and your child is older to where they are less likely to roll around in dog waste while playing."</p>
<p>Adds another commenter: "You have every right not to allow the dog in your home. However, I'm sorry to say this, but you are going to have to find a new babysitter."</p>
