[quote=Anonymous]My kids want a dog. They have asked every day for 3 years. I love dogs. My spouse loves dogs. My kids also have no idea how much time and money it takes to get a dog and raise it. I’m an only child for no other reason than my parents only wanted one. I went through fertility treatments to have my children. You don’t owe your child a sibling any more than I owe my kids a dog. There are a lot of things my kids want and don’t get that make me sad. It’s sad when your kid doesn’t get invited to a party. It’s sad when your kid doesn’t get the part they want in the school play or they lose the election for student government class rep. It breaks my heart any time my kid fails at something they care about and worked hard for or when someone hurts their feelings. Helping your kid sit with those feelings and realize they will be ok is part of parenting. [/quote]
