If I die before they do, they will have enough money to be taken care of.

I have children. And our dog is our fur-daughter. She would attack for me. She is loyal to the end. I understand what you are saying but what each person does in their family has no affect on you. My fur-daughter acts better then the children 100% of the time.

Yes it’s weird. I have 3 dogs, 1 cat, and 1 daughter. I’ve had people tell me their 1 dog is so stressful it’s like having a kid and the proceeds to explain how a dog is a kid. I told her how stupid she sounded.
Yes my dogs are my family but definitely not kids.

You know what’s weird? That people are so triggered by someone else’s actions, that provide that person with joy to the point they feel the need to make a post on Facebook. There could be numerous reasons. Maybe she can’t even have kids. Maybe she had a shitty childhood and doesn’t trust herself to raise children. You should learn grace.
Why do you care what other people do that has no impact on your life?

Animals are better lol they got a year or two of being ass holes. Babies keep you up for a year or two and then become ass holes as time goes on lol
Does it affect you in any way? Then why are you so bothered by what other people do or say? When you open your heart to an animal they become family.

Why does it matter to you how they refer to their animals. Does it really affect you that much that you have to judge what they are doing in their life?
Our dogs have always been family ! My moms youngest kids are teenagers now and the dog is totally her new baby ! Doesn’t hurt anyone else , just means that dog is getting so much love!!
Well I have a dog and he is my 4 legged son. He has gotten in-between my 1yr old and a nasty looking German shepherd before. (My son got to close to said dog I was redirecting him that we didn’t know if it was friendly or not. We were still every it of 5 feet away from it when it bared it teeth and growled at my 1 yr old and kilo jumped in between and kept that dog away from his human). My “dog” will lay his life down for me or mine. He is every much one of my children as the 3 boys I carried in my womb and gave birth to. He still needs me to exercise him feed him water him groom him. All things I do for the two legged.
Weirdest part is you don’t think they need their own bed

Cool, so I love animals growing up, wanted to be a veterinarian, and back then I did love my animals a lot, I didn’t however refer to them as my children, guess I wasn’t that hardcore. But now I have 4 children, I think it’s weird because first of all they are are human off spring, but anyone who has has a child from birth will tell you it’s WAY HARDER to take care of actual children. And I agree pet’s are family, but people who take it too far puzzle me completely

Not everyone can have children. So their dogs ARE their children. No problem is bigger than another. It’s just a problem. No lie is worse than another. It’s just a lie. Just because they don’t make since to you don’t mean it don’t feel just as real to them. You know what it’s like to parent a child . They will never know that. But they know how to parent the closest thing to a child they will ever get. Remember non of us are the same. But we all feel things. We all want love. And just because your problem seems worse in your eyes does not mean they dont feel their problem is just as bad in their eyes … we got to loose this hate for each other. We all just want something to love and to be loved. That shouldn’t bother anyone. I understand being jealous dog moms could have more freedom that people with actual children. But we all live the life we get. Non of us are better than the other.

Until you experience unconditional love I believe you’ll never be able to understand parenting at all. I have a son & my fur babies! & I treat them all the same, besides being able to leave the dogs by themselves… that’s pretty much the only thing I do differently.

I’m a single mom to an actual human child, but I also spoil my fur babies just like I do my daughter. I work in vet med and refer to pets as kiddos because a lot of the time, they’re just like kiddos to their human parents. There’s so many other things that are much worse to worry about instead of people treating their dogs well. Pick your battles. It doesn’t affect you at all, so why worry about it?

Some ppl can take it a little far. But those r normally ppl who can’t have kids or the kids have moved out. Pets can sometimes fill a void in someone’s life or just add more to life. I know I would be kinda lonely without my cats and dog when the kids r in school. They keep me company. Isn’t that why ppl get pets?

I was told Happy Mother’s Day one time at work then they said oh wait you don’t have any kids. I did have fur kids. They were my children before I had my son. It’s hard to lose your fur kids. You know when you have a pet they will only be here for a short time. You spoil them while they’re here just like you would a human child.

Some dogs want to go outside but can’t walk far, they definitely do need beds, and who cares if they dress them up, some need it cause they get cold.
It’s definitely not as hard as raising human children but it’s not weird for ppl to call them their children lol if they are a part of my family, they are my babies.
I feel like this is a troll question/post though who actually worries about what other ppl do with or say about their animals if they’re not abusing them?!

I have 2 sons… I also had a family dog who I spent over 7g on because he got got hit by a car and required lots of medical attention… dogs are similar to kids because they require love, discipline and there health is important to. They are part of the family. Dogs are just as loyal as any family would be… To each there own but in this particular post your judging & calling names all because you have a different outlook on animals.

I think you should mind the business that pays you- why does it matter to you how folks treat their dogs? Cats? Dogs ARE kids and seeing them treated well vs poorly, pleases me to no end. Here’s my proposal- when you start paying my bills you can tell me what to call my dog- but not before every animal has a good home. You just worry about keeping your human children out of prison and off drugs honey

They are making up for the emptiness in their life. I get it. My kids moved out and I need something to take care of. I’m not driving my dog around in strollers and dressing them up though. My dogs know they are dogs and I’m the boss. That’s how you train them to behave.

Personally… my dog and two cats are my babies, as well as my son. My dog has his own bed, the cats sleep wherever, though there is a cat bed too. Some people struggle to have babies, and fur babies are all some mums can have. It does, however, grind my gears when someone tries to compare having an animal, in a way of caring for and looking after a child… that’s a no from me. Each to their own

I don’t call them my kids…but they are my fur babies, and I spend as much time with them as I do my kids!! Sometimes I get to spend more time with them, just because they are not as self sufficient as my children!

I think it’s great that our world still has loving, compassionate, people still in it!!

My kitties are like that to me. But I also got 3 kids too lol 
and by all means no they aren’t harder but with dogs they also shouldn’t be home for long periods by themselves and still require lots of attention but harder no.
I have two human kids and 5 fur babies. I can’t for the life of me understand why how I or anyone for that matter, treats their pets affects you? Unless it’s abuse then it absolutely should matter. Like really tho… Who cares what she does. If she isn’t hurting anything, move TF on. 
No, what’s weird is treating animals like crap. Some of us realize how intelligent and sentinel beings they are
In my opinion, I don’t mind when people say fur babies but calling them actual children 
don’t compare your dog or cat to my kids thanx; & yes I have kids, a dog, & a cat & they are not the same but I do spoil them all:heart: this is also an opinion I usually keep to myself but since someone asked lol

It does bother me a little bit because it kind of takes away from the hard work we do everyday to raise our kids. But damn a dog should be able to have a bed & if the owner wants to put clothes on them who cares, doesn’t hurt you or your pockets.
It doesn’t bother me. Everyone deserves something to love and spoil.

Maybe she can’t have kids?
If u think about it, when u get a puppy it’s not potty trained, it’s a baby, it pees and poops on the floor, they cry all night, they tear stuff up, get in the trash, make a mess. You have to potty train them, feed them, love them, care for them, clean up after them. They are like kids if you treat them the right way.
Well obviously you don’t have any animals because if you did your animals do become your children.
I do agree that training and taking care of dogs is hard and exhausting but kids require much more care. Although I am a mom of 1 it does sometimes feel like I have 4 children because sometimes my dogs act up just as bad as my son.
I don’t find it crazy. Not everyone can have kids. So them dogs are their baby’s.
