I gave them the benefit of the doubt...

My fiancé and I just bought a house, and it has been an emotional roller coaster. The young couple we bought the house from seemed very sweet - they had two young kids and unfortunately two large dogs (a German Shepherd and Husky I believe).

At the closing, they joked about dog hair being everywhere, and since I'm kind and pretty non-confrontational, I laughed along, but it made me nervous.

A little background, I grew up pretty poor with a neglectful parent. We had dogs and the house constantly smelled, once we got fleas, the backyard was ruined since my parent didn't help clean up the shit, and I generally had a lot of anxiety about the state of my home growing up.

When I toured the house right before closing, my only request was that they pick up all of the shit in the backyard. My. Only. Request. Guess what they didn't do?

All I wanted was a nice backyard for a garden. It is a shit museum.

I feel so dumb for believing them. I constantly go above and beyond to help others and be considerate of others' feelings. So this felt like a punch to the gut during a time where I should be thrilled and loving my new house. I was somewhat neutral towards dog owners and dogs before, but this was too much.

Thank you for listening to my rant.
