[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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.

DP - I'm far from insecure and if someone wants to call themselves a dog mom, that's their choice.

My point is parenting a human child is a far different experience than having and loving a pet. Words can't describe it.

[b]It's a (human) mom thing, you wouldn't understand.[/b][/quote]

[i]Yeah. You sound super secure. [/i]

I guess I touched a nerve.
