[quote=Anonymous]we waited and the kids begged and we finally broke down and got a pet. for my 14 year old son, it was amazing to see him attached to something and a sweetness come out. it is a good lesson in responsibility and there's a bond that forms there. with my tween who sometimes puts up a wall with us (normal tween angst) or emotional times, the dog is a comfort and something that brings joy. my son didn't actually want the dog at first because he didn't want to have to take care of it. i don't force him to take care of the dog. if you get one, just realize it's a lot of work and that often falls on the mom! the dog brings us more joy than we could have imagined. it's helped my marriage, it cuts some tension in the house.[/quote]
