Okay, so I feel like I’m in a tough spot here. I (28F) have 6 dogs. Yeah, I know it sounds like a lot, but I love them all dearly. The problem is, none of them are fully potty trained yet. They’re all still puppies, and it’s been way harder than I expected.

Here’s the thing—my grandmother (70) has been kind enough to let me keep the dogs at her house for a while since my place isn’t big enough. But, for context, her house is very clean and she’s a bit of a neat freak. The issue is that my dogs keep peeing and pooping all over the place, and she’s been freaking out about it.

I know it’s my responsibility to train them, but it’s just... a lot. I’m honestly overwhelmed trying to handle six dogs, and they’re constantly going to the bathroom inside. I’ve tried using potty pads, but they ignore them. I’ve tried taking them out more frequently, but there’s just too many of them for me to stay on top of it all.

Here’s where I might be the a**hole: My grandmother has asked me multiple times to clean up after them, but I feel like I shouldn’t be expected to do everything. I already feel bad enough about the mess they’re making. She’s constantly on my case to clean it up, and I feel like she’s being unreasonable. I get that it’s her house, but she knew I had dogs when I moved them in.

I love my dogs, but I feel like I shouldn’t have to spend all my time cleaning up after them, especially when I’m already juggling so much. It’s starting to feel like she’s treating me like a child for not handling everything perfectly. At this point, I don’t even feel like I’m allowed to enjoy having them without the constant guilt of not being able to get them potty trained fast enough.

So... AITA for not cleaning up after my dogs every time they make a mess at my grandmother’s house?
