Glad you survived though! I didn't think it was snarky. Yeah, I could see how dropping that with no context looks odd. Pets are definitely better than kids. Less maintenance, more trainable, and they don't have a crying fit 5-7 times a day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm at that age where plenty of people are having kids around me, but I'm perfectly content with my 13 year old black lab. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't want to go to the parenting classes, but it ended up being the best thing we did. Added benefit about learning how to parent kids is that now I can handle message boards too. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrDrew Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 I think of small kids like dogs now... I like them when they belong to other people. They're fun to go play with, but I done taking care of them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll buy this as an apples to apples comparison the day it becomes socially acceptable to put a shock collar on a toddler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
