[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ah, yes…the quarterly whining of insecure DCUM moms. I always enjoy this.

Here, let me get under your skin a little bit more. There absolutely [i]are[/i] similarities between raising a puppy and raising a child. They are not identical experiences, but there [i]are[/i] similarities. Some things are harder with puppies (puppies are mobile right away), while some things are easier with puppies (you can leave puppies alone right away).

The only reason a mother would be bothered by someone else treating their dog as a child—whatever that might mean to you—is insecurity. If you are truly happy with your choices to parent children, this wouldn’t be a blip on your radar.

[i](Also, 16:47 PP, not all parents birth their children.)[/i]

I can’t wait for the Mother’s Day version of this post. 😆😆

LMAO can you please explain what insecurity could possibly exist? [b]“I am unable to be a dog mom as well, insecurity?” “I wouldn’t be able to take care of a dog as well as I take care of a child, insecurity?” “This person takes care of a dog better than I take care of a child, insecurity?” [/b]

All of these seem nonsensical, so please, explain yourself. [/quote]

I said insecure, not jealous.

Well-adjusted, secure people aren’t bothered by such minutiae in someone else’s life that has [i]literally[/i] no affect on yours. I think some—not all—mothers are insecure about the choices they made. Raising children is difficult, and some of you have a constant need for recognition and approval. So much so that you get bothered by dog-owning women getting the same.

If you don’t believe me, just wait for the, [i]“Mother’s Day is my day!!”[/i] posts from women complaining about dog-owning women receiving the same good-will message. That’s nothing but insecurity.

It’s, of course, fine to think it’s silly to call yourself a dog mom (Hell, I don’t do it!), but the complaining about it you guys do is really telling.

NP. The only time it has ever bothered me was when my child was in the hospital for several days, and a co-worker told me she “knows exactly how I feel” because she had to keep her dog at the vet overnight for a night. Umm…yes, in that moment, that was extremely hurtful and totally inappropriate. For many reasons, not the least of which worry and hardship is not a contest, and when someone’s loved one is in the hospital, you really don’t need to make it about you. And you certainly don’t need to say you’ve “gone through the same thing” when your loved one is a dog, not a human.[/quote]
