[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? “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?”

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

DP. I think the “insecure” part comes from women whose identities are so wrapped up in motherhood that they see pet owners referring to themselves as “dog moms” is somehow minimizing the sacrifices of motherhood. [/quote]
