Is it just me or is it weird asf that people treat their dogs like literal children? like they are dogs…they dont need their own bed, clothing or strollers…my sisters friend has only dogs and she constantly compares taking care of them to be as hard as parenting is and says she is a mom…and they are her babies…tell me im not alone in thinking this is weird
We have dog beds, regular ones and I adore my pets but definitely not as precious as my son’s but as they are grown I get it. Let them do what makes them happy
My dogs are my babies as well lol, as long as you’re living your life why does it bother you so much how she feels?

No it’s not weird.
We don’t know the attachment they have to the dog. Some dog parents do a lot for their dogs! Like their life revolves around them.
Others just connect more with pets.
So to answer your question. Absolutely not weird.

It’s called compassion, however; in my opinion, it’s not comparable to having a child.
I would literally kill for my fur babies. Never underestimate the power of someone’s love for their animals. They are the one thing in life that we as humans don’t deserve. They loved us without question on days we are not so loveable and count on us to love them back. If someone comes to my house and want me to lock my dog up, they can GTFO cuz it’s my dogs home and they are going nowhere

I mean in a way she is the dogs mom but there are some people who take it to extreme thing’s like I’ve seen on tiktok where someone had a whole bedroom like a toddler bed their own tv paw patrol toy box lamp & dresser for their dog
Now if it was a little corner in the side of the room that you have blocked off for the dog with like a basket & a dog bed that is ok but a whole room nope I call my cat my fur child & my dog was my fur child but definitely don’t take it to extreme it is a pet & they are our babies but their not our human birth given babies ya know

My aunt isn’t able to have children. She has had several ivf treatments with no luck and her and my uncle aren’t able to adopt. She had two dogs (unfortunately one passed two weeks ago). She treats them like children, though they are too big for strollers and such they are her babies. I think it is perfectly fine to call pets “your babies”. You never know what struggles someone is or has went through to become a mother so I don’t think it’s right to degrade the ones who’s babies do have paws.

I think each to their own, if treating her dogs as children makes her happy and it’s not harming anything then don’t worry about it. So many people worry about things that have nothing to do with them. Try to relate to her instead. She says the dogs are hard (her kids) talk about stresses with your kids, who cares which one has more fur

How cold ed could you be apparently you don’t have a connection with an animal and shouldn’t probably own animals there’s plenty of women out there that are unable to bear children and the closest thing they get their dogs or their cats birds whatever it may be you need to quit being so close minded and get over yourself

I also think it’s very weird and you have to be some what mentally unstable to genuinely feel like your dog or cat is your child and expect mother’s day gifts and what not. I get it to a point of adoring your pets and smothering them with love loves and treating them like family, but the wackos out here telling me it’s the same as raising a child and being a parent? Fuck off it is babe. And you can see they genuinely believe it is. Like… What. Iv even seen loadsss of people say “sorry but if it was out of my child or dog, idk which one I’d save because my dog was my first born” WACKOOOOSSS.
Personally I don’t think you can compare having a dog to a child. However so long as it’s trained I don’t care how much someone spoils a dog.

My dog is my fur baby and I can tell you now, it sometimes can be like living with a toddler (something I’ve done alot over the years). He doesn’t have a stroller, but if he ever needed I would get one so he can still go exploring with me, he also has a cot mattress in my kitchen for when I have in home appointments for my human baby, but he generally sleeps in my bed and has done since I got him (he’s three in 3months). Some people can go a bit far with it though
I have kids. My daughter considers our family dog her brother. And her best friend. I call him my son, he been around longer than my children and is as important to them as me so yeah.

It’s weird as hell. They are pet owners. Not mothers. I think it’s okay to call your pet “your baby”. Animals become family, but not like children. Some women suffer from infertility. Loving their pet is as close as they can get to a child. However, clothes and strollers. That is way to much. I know someone who has full blown birthday parties for her dogs and she even has children. That is extremely weird and over the top. You can definitely love animals, and they need your care. But there is a difference between loving your pet, and being obsessed with it.

Not all humans connect with animals on that level. When you do, you treat them as a child or best friend and it’s Soul crushing when they pass. Since you asked ,that says y you haven’t had that connection. To have an animal to be where ever you are, unconditional love, you are their entire world and their loyalty is unmatched. I have 2 children and none of my dogs ever rolled their eyes, disobeyed me, talked back, lied to me or stressed me out. Despite the little things, I had really good kids! My kids are adults now Dogs are simply there to love And be loved.

i don’t even see why this is a post honestly like…. why are so many people so judgmental lmfao.
Raising kids is not comparable to pets at all. It’s like apples and oranges there’s really no comparing the two other then they are a living organism. However, as a cat owner my 8yr old and I call our 9month old baby kitten boys “our boys. Our babys. Our baby boys.” Then also call them by their names, we love them so much they have a bed they share, it just fills our heart do much to love them like little children. So I imagine dog owners feel the same, I refer to my friends cats or dogs as their “four legged baby, furry friend” I see nothing wrong with people loving animals.
- They definitely DO need beds wtf?
- Some dogs need strollers because they’re old and get tired or too small and get tired. I’m the mum of an elderly dog and you never know when he’s gonna putt out and can honestly tell you a stroller would be bloody handy.
- My dogs wear jackets when they’re cold, what’s the issue?!

I have my 2 little humans, then I have my border collie, I don’t call her my kid. But definitely a very important dog in my life. She has helped me so much with my depression and PTSD. Hell she help my youngest get walking and talking. They were inseparable when she was a toddler. She is 13 now and has a cat she trained. I have never seen a trained cat till she got hers. All she has to do is say Phoenix she comes running. She responds to commands. My oldest has a free roam rabbit she trained. Pets are important to people.

Not weird at all. I’m a mom to human babies and animals. I have 2 disabled dogs and they are alot of work. I have 4 dogs and 3 cats 2 turtles 3 rats 4 snakes. I treat all my animals like family. They are a lifetime commitment. I even do aninal rescue. It’s alot of work physically emotionally and mentally. Taking care of animals makes me happy. I will always treat my animals as my own children. Here’s the thing that will bother you the most. My dogs have first middle and last names . The rest of the animals have first and last names. The way I see it is I get along with animal lovers who treat their animals like family. People who don’t care about animals arent good people to be around:) animals are the best . They help with my depression and anxiety . Through my life with the verbal emotional physical mental abuse if it weren’t for the animals , I don’t know where I’d be at now. They help humans so much. I will always have my priorities human kids and animals. I will go into a building on fire to get my human kids and my fur kids and other animals I have. I would go hungry but be happy because my human kids and my fur babies and other animals have food. I will do anything for them. And guess what. I moved out of a house when a landlord decided to change the lease from to having dogs to no dogs. 2 weeks later we moved into a place that will allow dogs. You are definitely going to get alot of negativity from your post.
FYI I brush my dogs teeth too and dress them and brush their hair and give them baths and blow dry. If they misbehave they get treats or toys taken away just like I would for a human child 
so yes there are many people that will treat their dogs like human kids because we as owners are their adoptive parents I I have a dog stroller too. Use it for my cats and dogs take them for walks. Also the ratties too and this summer i plan to take my turtles in the dog stroller

Well I find buying a stroller and clothes for your dog weird and ridiculous but the rest is normal unless of course you don’t really care too much about your pets and their well-being and comfort.
But you are right with one thing… comparing taking care of animals to kids is not a fair comparison. They are not the same.

Kids are definitely a lot harder than an animal (my opinion), but regardless how YOU feel about it, maybe you should look at why it’s bothering you so much. Maybe your sister can’t have children, so she resorts to animals? I’m confused as to why it bothers you so much that she cares about another animal that you have to hop onto a page such as this to seek validation for your weird feelings. It’s okay that you don’t agree with it, but you don’t bash and disrespect someone else when you don’t have the full story as to why they treat their animals as such. I’d rather someone care for 100 animals than raise a child they don’t want. As long as those animals are being taken care of, who cares if you sister spoils them? Be glad they aren’t being abused and neglected. Smh. Rant over.

It’s weird but it’s true. I had a kitten for about 6 weeks and mate the stress was ridiculous. So needy like a child lol I gave them away
Some people aren’t able to have children, so their only alternative is fur babies. I don’t think it’s weird. I’m fortunate and blessed beyond words to have been able to have 3 sons after being told time and time again that I would not be able to have children. My son is only 20 but has decided not to have children because he is a Marine and doesn’t want to constantly be uprooting his children. He does have a fur baby with his fiance and he treats her like a child. It’s the cutest thing ever. As long as they don’t interfere with your life I say live and let live. But that’s just me.

Some people don’t want kids. Their pets are their kids.
Some pets require a lot of maintenance… weather it be illness, or special breed maintenance, etc. Just like a kid.
Many pets require training, time, and attention… just like a kid.
Many pets require a lot of money… just like a kid.
Keep your narrow minded views to yourself. I have a child, and I have pets. They’re all my kids. If you don’t see it this way, do the animals a favor and don’t have any.

She didn’t say she had anything personal against people who do this type of stuff, she just said she finds it weird and her opinion is that, simple and plain.
No need to get hostile about it.
People are still allowed to have or share opinions nowadays right? I mean … It’s the last liberty we have left and I can not stand the thought of how many people have been so straight up rude AF over something so trivial.
