[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid is 16 - Literally wants nothing
Basically said she has everything - doesn't need new clothes since she isn't going to school
has all the tech that she needs 
suggested a dog - we vetoed
doesn't even want money or gift cards because she works pet sitting, has cash and no where to spend since she isn't going out much and has a hoard of gift cards

What a shitty parent you are. The kid wants nothing but a dog and you veto it? In the middle of a pandemic where suicide and depression rates have gone up? I’d be happy if that was all my kid wanted. [/quote]

I’m the other parent who said no to a dog. I love dogs and know exactly what is involved in their care.  That is why we are not in any position to take on that responsibility. Life will get back to normal someday and our family will not be home much at all. Responsible families look at getting a pet as a long term commitment. The teens will be even older and possibly not here in a few years. While I love dogs, I’m not interested in having a pet for 10-15+ years at this point in my life. DD can adopt her own dog when she’s an adult. [/quote]
