[quote=Anonymous]Think about it as having another kid, OP. Yes, a dog is slightly less work than a kid, but not actually that much less. I think people are quick to jump on the idea of getting a dog - they are cute! They are so fun! The kids will take care of the dog! But in reality, getting a dog is a HUGE commitment - to really be a responsible dog owner takes a tremendous amount of time, energy, and money. We have a beloved dog and I do not regret it at all, but every member of the family went in knowing what we were getting into: a major, long-term commitment. And, yes, 90% of the care falls to me, even though that is not what DH or DCs promised (luckily I knew exactly what the reality would be before going in).[/quote]
