I’ve only heard this maybe once or twice my whole life.

Nah, she's used to it by now. For some reason our yard help changes faster than models at a fashion show.

I've never heard anyone refer to their pets as "kids" in a serious manner.
Your parents should have probably stuck to pets and skipped kids.

We Have not called our Lab our son but he is an indoor dog and acts like a person it seems. He goes out for just a few minutes and then wants to come back in with us. If I am outside, he stays as long as I do and will do so for hours as I do things in the yard.
Yet, sometimes, I have to shove him outside and tell him to just go do dog things. He is 7 now and will not just sit outside on the door stoop or deck or out in a nice sunny or shady spot. I find this to be very odd.

Does anyone else find this annoying?
Thank you for starting my day off on a good note. My goal is to annoy and piss at least one person off a day. Whether it be parking at gas pumps or talking about my 4 legged children, by whatever tactic. Enjoy your corn flakes whilst I piss in 'em.

I've maybe heard this twice before. It's a rare occurrence because I don't hang out with wierd people. The one common thing between them was that they were some screwball people. Not really a big deal though.
What's far worse to me is the people that let the dog lick their face, or even worse yet, their mouth. That's some nastiness right there.

I guess nothing because you love them as your children as much as you know how to love your children....until you really have a child. I get why people say this before kids, but if you can still say this after having kids and can compare the two to being equal then you probably shouldn't have that child. My dogs are treated as well as any dogs can be treated, but if there was ever a decision between my two dogs and my child's safety, those two dogs are toast. Simple as that.

I find it highly annoying.

Most posters here don't have kids that like them enough to do that now, so i seriously doubt they're going to do it 20-25 years from now.

My children are grown and live away from our home. My pets are my babies. Deal with it!!!

I boil almost unseasoned chicken for my babies as a supplement to their prescription dog food. If God would have just given them 4 or 5 words, dog ownership would be so much less stressful.

Why? It's their business and doesn't harm you in the least.
If you want something to really be annoyed about pick something like maybe...people that wrongfully park in handicap spaces, people that use the F word in public, people that use the word 'retard' like it's a joke.

My dog never throws a tantrum on an airplane. You never have to listen to me talk about how my dog learned to sit or crap outside...something every dog does. So, hey, we all have to deal with annoyances.

Nothing. :)
The annoyance for me is when people get offended because people don't regard their pets as having the same status as children. Like getting mad because their family has kids at holiday events but will not allow their dog to go. Or in a conversation about ill children and they insert themselves with tales of their cat having a cold and expecting the same level of concern. And I say that as someone who spoiled her pets pre-kids, it just isn't comparable.

It’s an affront to some parents if you even hint at there being any similarities whatsoever...

We even gave our children/pups middle names.

I'll do this jokingly and say he got his looks from his mom.
