I agree to an extent - I’m very thankful that pets are not the same as babies and they are different, however there are some similarities and they are still a huge responsibility. There’s many people who should never have pets or children, but sadly still do
What annoys me more about that post is the tone. The parent is essentially laughing and dismissing the other person’s very valid experience. The person might have been trying to relate to the parent and find something in common with them, because we all know they were probably talking non-stop about the joys of parenthood!
I’ve noticed whenever someone else has sleepless nights or a stressful week unrelated to children, suddenly it becomes a competition and the parent has to chime in saying “well wait until you’ve had kids!” or “that’s nothing compared to having a baby”.
Anyway, baby animals will always be cuter than any wrinkly gremlin baby
