[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'll never understand the urge to make fun of or pick on people you think are pathetic. 
If you think some middle aged childless spinster who loves her dog is such a tragic person, just go hug your spouse and kids and be grateful that your life isn't so sad. Ask yourself why you feel the need to complain about or mock people you feel sorry for. [/quote]

Lol. You realize you’re insulting childless “dog parents” pretty hard while attempting to chastise the OP, right? Kind of an equal opportunity hater, I guess.[/quote]

I AM a childless "dog parent". I don't think I'm pathetic at all. But it is very obvious that underscoring a lot of these conversations is the belief that childless people who love their dogs are tragic/pathetic people. [/quote]
No. I think what's "pathetic" is just when dog owners refer to themselves as parents and believe their relationship with their dog is the same as having a child. That is disturbing more than pathetic, but I do feel sorry for them. [/quote]

Yep, this. Someone who really wants a child and is having trouble for whatever reason, so channels some of that energy into pampering and loving on the dog at home? Fine, I truly hope it helps. Someone who delusionally tries to argue their dog is exactly like a child and should be allowed to come to all family events children are welcome (allergies?? Your asthmatic child can just take a Benadryl right?), and wears the dog in a sling to target? That’s a whole different animal. [/quote]
