[quote=Anonymous]I'm in a similar situation myself, but I actually love dogs and work full time (although I work from home). My 10 year old begs us for a dog constantly, and although I love dogs, we had a 17 year old dog that we loved die a couple years ago, and I am enjoying the break from those responsibilities. I'm curious about the "research" PPs have mentioned on the benefits to kids of having a dog - what are they? I've heard having a dog or cat in the house could be good for babies in terms of exposure to allergens, but what about for older kids? If most people say their kids are pretty much forced to do the walking, feeding, etc., then doesn't the experience become just another chore? I grew up without dogs as pets and still grew to love them and had them as an adult. [/quote]
