Do you really think your dogs are children?

My children are fairly independent teens who have a good sense of self and who will be going away to college and beyond.

My babies will stay dependent on us and will always require a certain level of care.

+1 My cat isn’t my child but she’s my baby (and my kids’ baby too!).

Why can’t they just be your beloved pets? But, fwiw, “babies” isn’t as weird as “children”. There are “baby animals”; there are no “animal children”.

They're pets, not babies. You sound very immature when you say that. Grow up.

Oh c’mon. Immature? Have a bit of levity.

Stop parroting “triggering”, PP, especially when you’re clearly using it incorrectly. OP wrote clearly that she/he didn’t immediately process what the person meant. That’s not triggering, dear, it’s confusion. Four-legged children is a weird way to talk about a dog and a strange visual (a child with four legs).

I have never heard “four-legged children” before and in reading it I immediately visualized a little boy with four legs. It’s creepy.

I get OP’s confusion. I love my dogs but do not refer to them as children - four legged or otherwise.

Sure. If you’re mentally deficient.

I have kids, but I have always been my pet’s mommy too. I don’t care what anyone else thinks.

What’s weird is your obsession with policing how people talk about their pets, honey. Get a life.

+1. It’s a disturbing image. Only someone very immature and insecure would use that made up term.

+1. Why not your pet’s wife or your pet’s lover? “My dog’s daddy” is equally creepy.

Seriously, guys, what’s wrong with being your dog’s owner? I love my dog so, so much and prefer their company to that of my in laws but they’re “my dogs”.
