Dogs are great. They're never going to steal money from you. They'll never crash your car. And if you ever want to go out and party on a random night, you can leave your dog happily locked in its cage for around 6 hours with no problems.

Try letting your neighbors find out that you left your kid locked in a cage for even 1 hour and see what happens!

[–]Frank420 12 points13 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Totally agreed ... I can't stand kids. I couldn't even consider having them. They are loud, costs tons of money, ruin your freedom, cry a lot when they are young, can't take care of them selves, gotta pay for them to go to school, etc etc etc.

Me and my wife have cats and thats it. Sure we give them lots of attention but they take care of them selves. If we want to go away for the weekend we can. Unlike dogs we don't have to rush home to walk them either.

I just can't for the life of me understand why anyone would want kids. Yep, I am very selfish and don't really care :D

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Yeah, I totally approve. I wish everybody would stop having them, what a sweet society we'd be living in.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I don't find you selfish. I think that you have an opinion that clashes with mine, but that's ait. I do wonder if you'll ever change your mind. I kind of hope for your sake that you won't change your mind because once you're too old to have kids, there's no changing that.

But I am curious: How do you imagine old age? Who will visit you and cheer you up, give you grandkids and brighten up your day? Do you believe that a cat can replace a child? Do you think that relationship you have with an animal is the same a one of your friends would have with his/her child?

[–]empiratical 3 points4 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I imagine spoiling the heck out of my brother's kids. I imagine mentoring kids whose parents largely ignore them. (That's my job right now.) I like kids. I just don't want kids of my own.

My cats don't "replace" children. They're not "the same." But I don't think I'm doomed to a loveless, lonely future just because I don't want to reproduce.

[–]cuzimangie 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

What's more sad?

Having no kids/grandkids to visit you when you're old -or- Having kids/grandkids who don't want to visit you when you're old

In my opinion, there are just as many old people who are neglected as there are who are loved.

[–][deleted] -2 points-1 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Oh man both of those scenarios suck. I've never heard of a grandchild who is uninterested in their grandparents. So you prefer an animal over a human in the event that the human hurts you?

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

As a grandchild who was largely uninterested in my grandparents, I guess I will stand up and say that it happens so that you can say you heard of it. My paternal grandmother was dead when I was born but my paternal grandfather was a giant fucking asshole who was a manipulative, psychologically damaging person who beat my dad mercilessly as a child. Needless to say, I didn't want to get involved in his life. My maternal grandparents lived too far away to be visited. How am I supposed to have interest in people I never got to know?

[–]cuzimangie 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I was uninterested in my grandparents. They weren't bad people, I was just never close to them... so whenever my parents wanted me to hang out with them, it always felt like a burden. Nothing in common, boring.. ect..

And no, preferring animals has nothing to do with a fear of being hurt by humans. I just don't like kids. Never have, never will. The fear of being lonely when I'm old is not great enough for me to change my mind about raising children.

[–][deleted] -1 points0 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

You're one of two people who tells me that they lacked affection for their grandparents because they were horrible people. Again, small sample but confirms what I believed earlier: People prefer animals over other people because said other people were terrible to them.

I 'think' I'd like to have kids, but what if I have them, and it turns out that I'm not really into it? Or what if it makes me even MORE anxious and worried than I already am?

My Mom was really sweet, but she rarely put out much effort for me. Left me feeling like I was such a CHORE.

Don't mix. Unless you're rescuing, of course ;)

[–]erintintin24 2 points3 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I refuse to do anything but rescue. There are just too many dogs out there that need homes. Plus, mixes have fewer health issues (especially in the case of breeds, like danes, who are known to be at risk for a lot of health problems. but I still love pure danes a ton!)

[–]MyloByron 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Same here (with the rescuing, for the same reason).
My opinion does differ slightly from yours with regards to mixed vs. purebreds though. To my knowledge (based on breed research before getting a dog), as long as a responsible breeder is doing their job, pure-breds are known to be less predisposed to genetic issues later in life (i.e. luxating patella, hip displaysia, cateracts etc.). I won't get into it though. lol
I loooove pure Danes. I saw one the other day and asked his owner if he rides it to work ;)

[–]nomorerae 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Yeah, nothing wrong with a purebred dog, as long as you've done a shit ton of research on the breeder and make sure they're doing it for the love of the breed, yada yada ya, force you to sign a neuter contract if you aren't showing, etc.

Responsible breeders aren't the problem.

People need to stop treating pets as children, it's detrimental to both pet and owner. A dog is an animal, let it be an animal. I'm not saying you can't love it or that you shouldn't keep it as a pet, but don't think of it as a replacement for a child. It should be something different.

I will agree on one point though, nuts to children, I'm 29 and still too much of a kid to wanna have to take care of one.

They'll pretty much just lock you in an old folks home to die, senile and neglected.

Some people actually plan to have children. Meaning they set aside money, prepare a safe home, scout out schools, brace themselves for the lifestyle change, and then elect to not use birth control.

Also, I am a child and grew up with ATVs, trips, a house big enough to hold six people if that's big, my parents went to dinner parties, yeah we had a station wagon and later a van but that's just being practical, and we had between 2-6 dogs for my entire childhood, also some cats and fish. So, I don't think all parents say that.

People who say this stuff have no clue how rewarding having children can be. I have had dogs that I love, but it's nothing compared to the love parents give and receive from their children.

Also, if you get the dog a couple years after you have the kids it's much more fun, than having a dog without kids.

I'm tired of people thinking kids ruin lives. If anything, it's irresponsible parents that ruin their kids' lives. But anyways, having a kid does not mean your life is over, it means you're starting a new chapter. I love dogs, but you will never love a dog, or be loved by, as much as your own child.

[–][deleted] -1 points0 points ago

Finally, a normal person on reddit. I always feel bad for people when they say that they prefer animals over dogs bc it leads me to conclude (perhaps mistakenly, but I still conclude it) that they've had terrible people around them all their lives. Also, anybody who can equate an animal with a person is better off not having kids.

[–]Dtumnus 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Honestly, I don't think it comes just from being around terrible people, but more so of them being lazy. Do you know what I mean? But, I'm very glad I'm not the only one who feels this way. I completely agree with your last statement.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point ago

Dogs ruin lives too... friends who have to leave parties tO "go get the dogs," or "have to get home to let the dogs out" etc.

Responsibility's a bitch. Kids are more responsibility than dogs, but the payoff is much greater too.

The days are long, but the years are short.

Yeah, but will your dog wipe your ass in your elderly years? I've told my kids that's one of their expected duties (along with buying dad a Harley when they hit it big).

/I keed. Sort of.

Had this on the fridge up until my first kid was a few months old. Figure I will put it back up when the kids are a bit older and I am angry with them.

Children only ruin your life if you dont have the spirit or power or whatever to actually grow up and become an adult.

Try it.. You might even graduate to human being some day.

Wow... the maturity level in here is outstanding.

People who loathe kids as much as you lot deserve the lonely life they'll eventually get.

I love kids. They're hilarious. Have you ever seen two 3 year olds explain something complex to each other? Hours of entertainment right there.

I could see it more if the lady was holding a Corgi or even a Chihuahua, but three airedale terriers... no way. I would never take on one, let alone THREE. That's a huge responsibility. Those things are freaking crazy.

If you equate children with pets, then I'm glad you're not having them.

No, I know they are. I'm glad they are- if they can replace a human being with an animal, then they're better off not reproducing.

One of my professors (whose diploma I believe was written in crayon) prattled on almost every class about her 'fur children' when she inevitably went off topic during each lecture.

Anyone who thinks of their pets as children: don't talk to normal people about it. We don't care.

A man and his son are out in the park one day, going for a walk. The son sees two dogs going at it, and yells: "Dad! What are those dogs doing?!?" Not wanting to explain sex to a five year old, but not wanting to lie, the dad says: "Uhh... They're making a puppy...?" The son says "oh!" and the dad prides himself on dodging that bullet.

A few days later, the son has a nightmare & goes into his parents room, and his parents are going at it. the son exclaims: "Dad! What are you doing to mommy?!?" Thinking back to their conversation in the park before, the dad says: "We're making you a baby sister!"

To which the son replies: "Oh... Well can you turn her over? I'd rather have a puppy!"

If you have no children you are genetic losers.

Cats and dogs are the "participation" ribbons.

Yes but kids are like man made slaves. You can make them do dishes, give blowjobs etc. I mean you can talk them into anything. So in that respects they have a slight advantage over pets.

Maybe you guys are right, pets have a slight edge as long as you have peanut butter to help the "process".

We have no natural predators to weed out our species, so not having children is beneficial to all mankind to prevent rampant overpopulation and a drain on resources.

Who are you to say the point of life is to have children? Infertile people have no purpose? Oh, and gay people have no purpose either I guess...

I realize this is a joke, but if you feel that having children has ruined your life, I fail to see how you can find your children to be "beautiful".

Hey now not all children are bad. I dropped out of high school and my parents had me arrested and put in prison on my 17th birthday. 8 years later I'm a successful car sales men earning 6 figures and I have a very strong and loving relationship with my parents. Sometimes even the worst of kids give you a world of reasons to be proud of them as they get older. No animal can ever give you this kind of pride.

you really are not taking everything into consideration.... those puppies will die before you will. whereas children, raised right, will live long enough to bury you.
