I told my best friend the truth and now she is mad.?

First of all i would just send her a text or leave her a voicemail saying this: Look I understand if you got uspet about with me about your dog, I know that he is special to you and I am sure he is great with you and your family but my kids are strangers to him. All I am doing is trying to protect my kids from an accident. Im sorry if you cant understand that ,but my kids come first. If you have an issue with us going over we could have come to an agreement about us visiting with your dog or you coming over instead.I guess you would rather have our friendship end well then so be it and take care. This i what i would say if i was in your situation.On a side note my cousins grandson is afraid of dogs and when he comes over i just take my dog out, I dont need to force it if he is afraid he is afraid. He has pet the dog but when he gets scared he smells his fear and he barks so it just adds to the situation.Well good luck! keep us posted:0

well she shud come to the fact that you are just lookin after you kids and being a good parent. if she doesnt realise this then she isnt a gd friend (sorry) if i were you id tell her that ' im just doin wats best for my kids,' friends accept things but best friedns argue :) she will come round dont worry just give her somespace and one day she will either call you ar text you and you will be friends again and act like nothing happened :)

tell her "that her dog is the best for her and probably good as a pet but it is natural for someone to actually be afraid of dogs so as you being my friend understand my problem"i bet she will listen becuz you are praising her first which makes her fell proud and then telling the truth

Dog vs. Kids...kids always win. She's not your friend if she doesn't care about your family! See if she comes around, and if she doesn't--find some new friends who are not pet lovers. Pet lovers can be freaks and think of their dogs as kids. They forget that dogs are animals.

First of all, I would leave her alone for a while. Second, you did the right thing of telling her the truth. She had to hear it sooner or later because you know that you wouldn't lie to yourself. The truth hurts, but it has to be heard.

Just leave her alone right now. She will realize herself and apologize to you.You have already told her and she should see reason in it Let her be mad, your kids are more valuable to you.

Just give her time to accept the fact :)
