[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Of course.  You have to worry about and provide for a defenseless child you brought into the world.

If that responsibility doesn't age you, you probably aren't doing it right. [/quote]

You do the same for pets though! You bring defenseless pets home and have to feed, train, exercise them, etc.[/quote]

A pet is not a child. Raise a child and you will admit the difference. Promise.[/quote]

+100. I love my dogs. But there is no comparison. None.[/quote]

If there is no comparison, you aren’t doing it right. I feel sorry for your pets.[/quote]

And the rest of us feel sorry for your children.

I don’t think the PP has children. I think she’s a “dog mom” who is convinced it’s the.exact.same. I have 2 pets + 2 kids. Love them all, but there’s no comparison. Kids zap WAY more of your energy. My cat doesn’t need an ADHD eval, or to remember to send water day stuff to camp, or get sick for weeks from RSV, etc. My pets don’t need someone home to watch them every time I need to run an errand.

And while I will be incredibly sad someday when the pets pass, it would be nowhere on par with the devastation of someone who has lost a child. If you think “raising” pets is the same as having children, you’re deranged.[/quote]
