Can somebody help me out? I’d rather have pets instead of kids, because I’m not a kid person.
Is there really a difference between having kids and having pets (like a dog, cat, a talking parrot or a monkey?) What are the pros and cons on having pets?
Kids and parrots will probably outlive you. Kids are a long term responsibility heavily weighted to the early years, and very expensive. No taking them back if they get sick or have some deformity.
Cats are easiest. Keep their food and water bowls full and you can go on with your life but keep the litter box clean. Dogs are high maintenance, you gotta be there for them every day. Never had a monkey. parrots need companionship and they’re smarter than a 3yo, so you gotta tell them whats happening when you go away for the weekend or on vacation.
Kids pack a heck of a legal responsibility too.

You cannot compare a child to a pet. A child is a life long commitment with no options out. A pet you can always give away or send to a kennel. If you feel you are not a child person at this point in your life then get a pet but don’t compare one to the other.

well at least if u forget to feed a pet u wont get into trouble with authorities. kids cry n scream why they want stuff. pets dont back chat u and argue with u.
pets are cheaper to feed. you can kick em outside whenever u like. they only need feeding once a day

Well, for me… I had two children and they are out of the house and raised now. It was hard to take care of them and stay up at night when they were sick, but I did.
I have a chihuahua now and he is my companion. He is somewhat easier to take care of but when he is sick, I do the same thing I did with my children. He basically is like my child now, the only thing is I could give him up if I had to (I think).

Pets and children are really not the same at all. For one thing, pets cannot challenge your authority like children can. But they also do not bring the love and joy that you feel from watching your children grow and become the person they were meant to be. It's a beautiful thing to be at the helm of a child's life watching them grow up. And pets come and go. They will never make you feel as fulfilled as raising a child does.
And my mom was not a kid person either. While all her friends were baby-sitting for cash when she was a young teen, she was cleaning people's houses because she couldn't stand kids. Yet she did a wonderful job raising SIX of us. You might think you're not a kid person, but it's very different when it's your own flesh and blood.

ok, it's not the same, but it is a nice alternative if you don't want kids. we have two dogs, and they are a commitment. feeding, training, walking, exercising, playing, taking to the vet, etc. dogs get sick, you have to train them, you have to spend time with them, and they are challenging. they are great for companionship but they are a responsibility. i admit, dogs are not the same as having children, but our dogs are like family.

but kid/s if u say sit….trust me your lucky if u say it once. lolz
but to be honest….having your own child is just a symbolized that your a woman.

My aunt had a monkey and it was the filthiest nastiest thing ever. It would poop in the sugar bowl, masturbate constantly and occasionally jump on your shoulder and hump your ear. Me I would rather have a kid then something I will always and forever be cleaning up their poop. Also there is no substitute for the love of a child. I dog may love you but it will love everyone. No comparisons between children and animals. I would pick children over pets any day.
