The amount of millennial couples I know who have broken up and are now doing dog visitation or sharing dog custody is just… Why in the actual fuck are people treating dogs like human babies? I feel like I’m taking crazy pills.

Replacing an emotional void with children or dogs doesn’t end well. Too many emotionally immature adults out there with neglected children who end up self-parenting themselves. My mom has an ngo that helps single moms and the stories of neglected children are so traumatising. Maybe work on inner peace and stability first. When you are whole, everything becomes a privilege and joy - your partner, children, animals. I think people should be more upset about why there are so many broken relationships and broken families, compared to dogs. But it's also interesting to observe what people value.

Having kids and raising them well are two very different things. You seem like someone who knows the difference and is passionate about being a good father. Wishing you well. Wouldn't hurt not to pick on dog lovers on a weekend :) If you’re feeling fiery, there are always oppressive governments globally or bad people to take on instead.
Because they don't have kids, but they have a hole in their soul that wants kids, so they substitute dogs for kids, like substituting living together for marriage, and pretend their dog is a kid, and form unhealthy and dysfunctional attachments to their dog, so naturally, split custody makes sense to these insane people. It reminds me of women who never became mothers, and have the unmet need to mother children, so they get into government to "mother" the electorate.

I was in a 10 year relationship, it probably only should’ve lasted five years, but we stayed together primarily because we shared a dog. In retrospect, I should’ve left that relationship much sooner, but when I started dating her, neither one of us wanted kids. As an only child, my dog was the first time that I learned to love something more than myself, and now I’m a very proud father. I completely understand this phenomenon, because I lived it. Time to perspective, and I’m grateful I found my way. At this point, since my daughter arrived, I have basically given them up, but I’ll never let him go… View quoted note →
This doesn’t happen in my part of Europe. Like, at all, haven’t seen this. People are generally still sane about most things if compared to the rest of the West. My hope is that we’ll just end up skipping that phase. Also, don’t care too much about whatever that is that people who play-pretend being adults do.

a real dog gives much more than the appearance of loyalty. This guy we lost to cancer recently would have undoubtedly died to defend my kids, wife or me. You've obviously never had a proper dog. When he found mice under the snow he would bring them to us. I feel bad for you that you've never had a real bond with a real dog. image
The best is when you hear two grown adults that have no kids complain about how hard life is or how hard it is to pay bills, have savings etc. It’s like, we got 3 kids over here you have no idea what struggle is, not even close.
Marketing mostly and societal norms shifting. I just heard someone talk about spending thousands on medicine for their dog. People aren’t having children young or are lonely and they latently love spending money
