Stupidly, a few weeks ago I agreed to let my step sons half siblings rabbits come to stay whilst their mum moved house (I know, it's extremely complicated!! :roll
These bunnies are the typical sad story of impulse pet shop buy for a birthday present for children. On this case, 6 year old twins! I did post about tons when I heard they'd got them and my worst fears have happened. They couldn't afford to neuter them & I didn't even waste my breath on vaccinations.
So anyway, out of pity for the bunnies, I said they could stay here temporarily & I'd get them neutered & vaccinated & hopefully rebounded as I knew I'd have to immediately sepRate them as they were fighting.
But, a couple of weeks ago, Blackavar suddenly fell ill & to cut a long story short, he now is a dental bun & I'm £600 worse off (his insurance don't cover dentals until I've had the policy for two yeRs - I've only had him since September) and another long story short I had to take a pay cut at work at January & have been having to take a minimum of £200pm out of my savings since then just to buy food and petrol etc. which are rapidly running out now. So I told my OH last night that I don't want to spend approx £200 getting these rabbits neutered & vaccinated then return to his ex wife. The twins are fed up of them & they've been left to my OH's son to care for them. He now lives with OH and doesn't want them either. I feel so sorry for the rabbits, but given what's happened (I haven't even touched on the stuff that's happened with me, OH, his son, his ex wife :roll
I don't really want to have to pay out more of my savings (which I only have because my nan left me some money in her will) for someone else's rabbits who don't want them & won't thank me for it & don't like me when they were stupid enough to get them in the first place and I desperately need that money to take care of myself & my own rabbits. It's still early days yet got Blackavar, we have no idea how often he'll need dentals and I need to pay that myself rather than claim from his insurance so rightly or wrongly, I'd prefer to save my money for my own rabbits. If I have surplus cash it wouldn't be a problem, but I don't.
However, when I told OH this last night, he wasn't impressed as he said I'd agreed to do it & so I have to do it regardless. I said yes & if Blackavar hadn't gotten ill, I could've done it, but he did & I'm not psychic & now I need that money for Blackavar.
Is he right and I have to do this because I said I would before everything that happened, or I am I perfectly reasonable to say no, I can't afford it any more?
