Will u guys give me a break? I am human I made a mistake, I ve admitted that in my last post. Actually it was my roommate who left the door opened but that doesn't matter anyway because I put a board to that door so if the door is open they cant get out because there's board blocking the half lower exit. Its not like this happens all the time in my house. The alligators/Crocs belongs to my boyfriend, Im not crazy about them but I cant stop him from having them. He is a croc/alligator biologist, its his passion, I dot understand his passion but we compromised, he lets me keep my ferrets and I let him keep his monsters. A lot of people has mentioned that it was weird or nasty that I keep ferrets (not that I care) , everyone has their own opinions about different animals. U would never believe what kind of animals some people really keep. My kids are far away from his monsters. I keep mine upstairs and he keeps them in basement so that's 3 floors apart so its not really that dangerous. Please done judge me as a ferret owner, you have not seen how I care for them, few mistakes does not make me a bad ferret owner. I am learning and I will always learn new things about my kids everyday. I ve gotten more careful and I ve put more ferret proofing around my house just in case (like I said in my previous post that I would make sure everything is even more ferret proofed). My boyfriend's alligators are hardly dangerous, they are very tame but they are obviously dangerous to ferrets, its part of their nature to want to have them as their dinner. But I have been very careful and I have made sure none of them are able to come out of their room and they haven't. Its just that I never expected that my room door would be left open, Jeff and I always keep our door closed no matter what, we even made a sign on the door that said please keep this door closed. Like I said, we all are humans and we all make mistakes. But that wont happen again because I put a barrier against the door and my roommate is not allowed to touch my door at all. I really don't care what you guys think about me, because I feel that I am pretty damn good Mom to my kids, Im there for them everyday. They know I am sorry for mistakes that I make but they love and forgive me anyway. [Moderator's note: I think many of us really appreciate that you shared your story with the FML. I certainly did since we can all learn from it... plus it's one of the more unusual events I've read lately! Unfortunately, it appears that some vocal subscribers had other thoughts :-( I apologize for them. BIG] [Posted in FML issue 4176]
