[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is my husband’s argument to get a dog. He wants one for himself just because he loves dogs but he also says he thinks having a dog/growing up helping to take care of a dog is an important part of childhood* so he wants our kids to have that experience as well. What do you think? I didn’t grow up with pets at all (parents didn’t want the mess or work) so I am apprehensive about the labor aspect of it but could be talked into it if it’s important for kids to grow up with a dog. * could probably also extend this to cats or another household pet[/quote] Is your husband pulling his weight at home? Is he the one who is going to take care of the dog? If so, let him get a dog. If not, no. Any other considerations are unnecessary. Your kids may or may not bond deeply with the dog. The My kids have very little interest in the dog, but it’s ok because he’s DH’s baby and DH is taking care of him. But it is nice to see DH happy.[/quote]
