You're a grown woman who can make her own decisions now in life. Don't let the silly comments from others ruin you and your childrens fun!



I'm pretty thankful in that I grew up with snakes and reptiles - my dad is just as big (if not bigger) of a herp lover as I am. Every time he's over, he gets all excited to see what I have picked up since the last time.



But being a pit bull owner/rescuer, I get the "why do you own pit bulls" question A LOT, again not so much from my family, but other people around me. My neighbor was over just this weekend and she's petrified of my big dogs. I had them out on the back porch while she came over, but someone let them in accidentally. She froze - wouldn't move until they were back outside! I reassured her they wouldn't touch her and guided them back outside (boy were they confused - they LOVE it when new people come over to visit them! Because, you know, no one ever comes visits the people in the home. lol)



Anyway, I would just tell the people giving you a hard time that you will continue doing what you enjoy with your life, your children and your pets. You're not asking them to get involved with it, and let them know that you'll not bring them out when they're over.



Good luck with that!!
