Pets become like a part of the family- even with kids.

Similarities? Sure. Comparable experiences? Not even close.

I've never heard of anyone doing this, and I know people with multiple dogs.

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.


They are trying to find common ground. There’s no limit on sympathy or concern or well wishes. It’s not pie.

I can't figure out a reason to care. There seems to be plenty of more important things to care about.
If we all just cared about important things, this board would be boring and I wouldn't get to laugh as much at general stupidity.

BTW, I love my damn dog. He's absolutely a member of the family.

I get that, I gladly have conversations with people about their pets but I am capable of talking to them about just their pets without bringing my kids into it as a way to find common ground. If someone is talking about house training their dog, I'm not going to bring my experience in potty training my kids into it. The two situations, while similar, are simply not comparable.

What I can't stand is when they refer to them as their "fur babies". For some reason, that term is like fingernails on a chalkboard to me.


WTF? Are you a female or just a pussy.

Where can I find a "life pussy"? That sounds interesting.

And to the OP, I fully agree. People who even begin to equate pets with children in any way are fricking clueless assholes. It especially annoys me when people say that they don't have any kids, "but" they have two dogs or whatever. No, those are two completely separate things, you fricking dipshit.

People who do this don’t have children. We never called our dog our child but he was treated like a Saudi prince. The instant our son was born the dog became a dog. Pretty crazy how quickly it happened.

Sucks for the dog


I think this is how it works for a lot of people. Anyone who equates their pet to their actual children is a horrible parent and should not have kids.

We have a kid, but my wife calls our dogs her "fur babies" and it does not bother me.
