tell your boyfriend to take a weeks holiday and take your place for a week at home i am sure he would sell the puppy after a week when he knows wat a pain it is with regards to the baby as long as its with someone you trust i don't think it will be affected as my sister in law done the same and her child is now a caring loving lad of six

I would have him clean up after the puppy. After all he is the one that wanted a dog. Have your boyfriend work on house breaking him. The sooner the better. You don't need all this stress right now. Your boyfriend should have been more understanding then that. I would have a good talk with him. I mean what did he expect you to do. Work, take care of a baby, take care of a puppy, plus all of the house hold stuff, and make sure his needs are taking care of. How selfish. I feel sorry for you. There's a saying if momma ant happy no ones happy. I would make sure he knew that. It's also very true. Good Luck

I would put the puppy in a fenced in area in the home or a protected area outside. The pee pee pads really help the clean up and help teach the puppy where to pee. I would have your husband come home at lunch time and let him out so the puppy learns that this is the time to pee. It will take some time for the puppy to be able to hold the pee that long but he will learn. I would put some of the responsibilty on your boyfriend since he is the one that got it and neither the puppy or baby shoud suffer. Best of luck!

Sounds like you have a communication problem with the boyfriend. He bought the puppy after being asked not too. Now it seems he doesn't want to take care of it. First of all is this his baby also? Does he treat this baby the same? If so maybe you need to think about a new boyfriend.
Of course if you told him with no discussion about the puppy. Then you would be in the wrong. Part of being in a relationship is communication and understanding the other persons feelings. Compromise is key.
But it sounds like you did discuss this with him. So I would have to guess it is more personal with him. Discuss it with him first.

Well what is he doing all day?
If he is working also then obviously you can't keep the puppy as it would be very cruel to leave it alone in the house all day. You're either going to have to get rid of it or get it another puppy to keep it company and get your boyfriend to do the cleaning up!

Try to delay returning to work (in addition to getting rid of the puppy?). You will be worked to the bone like a beehatch :-(

get rid of the boyfriend! why did you have a baby with a boyfriend? he doesn't seem like he's responsible at all. just remember, it's not the puppy or baby's fault, its your dumba** boyfriend.
