My kids are grown, my grandkids are in California and my roommate's dog "adopted" me so I have without having.

Ok, I'm not a parent. I may never be a parent. Still, I'm offended that there's a conversation going on whether dogs or children are better. It actually turns my stomach.

Also, calling all parents breeders is just rude.

Thanks Sam. Several posters find the term "breeder" rude as well.

I wouldn't call people with pets and/or kids breeders. I'd call them happy that they made a choice to suit themselves.

I'm over the fact that people don't know the definition of attack!

I replied to the post that said WHY dogs are BETTER than children. I replied commenting on WONDERFUL things about children. The poster then replied with a comment about locking children and dogs in trunks. I commented that it is good WE both have what we love.

NEITHER of us were attacking the other. There is nothing wrong with having children and not having pets. There is nothing wrong with having pets and not wanting children. There is nothing wrong with having both. There is nothing wrong with not having either.

The problem is a person FOR pets trying to convince a person who values having children more to SEE their way as the right way! And the other way around of course.

If I say the sky is blue and you say the sky is grey, we are both right if that is what we think/believe we see
