As I walked through the door, I was fully prepared for a peaceful evening at home, but what I saw completely turned my life upside down. My husband Ryan had assured his children that their pets could stay with us, but he had not told me about this choice beforehand. As someone with allergies who already finds it challenging to manage the house, I was astounded and overwhelmed to see our living room transformed into an animal haven. All of a sudden, my allergies got worse, and I thought that was it.
