[quote=Anonymous]OP, I love dogs, but I only love other people's dogs aka the kind I can pet or walk or play with and then give back. If you worked and your husband was will to take on all the dog responsibilities, I would say yes, but since you're SAH definitely don't get the dog! As you so astutely point out, you will feel guilty and your husband will resent it if he has to care for the dog when you're home all day and the cleaning (and consistent training and listening to the barking and letting the dog out regularly and the vet visits) will fall to you even if he is feeding and walking the dog. Speaking as someone who grew up desperately wanting pets and was not allowed because of allergies in extended family members, your kids will be fine without a dog. If they're really excited about it, they'll get dogs when they're living on their own -- I have two cats now.[/quote]
