UniformBravo Walk-on

I think the problem is your own sensitivity. Nobody I know in our group of dog parents thinks that our dogs are the same as humans. Do we spoil the yewt out of them? Absolutely. Why can’t we do that without human parents putting us down?

It's annoying for sure, but they'll never understand what you're trying to say.

It’s likely harder to be a parent to a dog because of the discrimination you face

Most of the time it's not that they couldn't be good parents. They just selfish.

TailgateU

The more selfish a person is, the worse parent they are.

Tiburon

Almost every time I hear someone comparing their pet to a child, it's done as an effort to find common ground.

Nobody is criticizing you for loving your dog. Just don't pretend that your dog is equivalent to a human child.

My dog isn’t equivalent to a human in my eyes or yours.

It doesn't have anything to do with "how much love" is present

I might agree somewhat, and parents that have "pet" children are sadly more

I'm not putting anyone down for spoiling your pet or loving your dog

Do you really refer to yourself as the father of your dog? Just wondering.

too bad there isn't a feature where you would only see sports & avoid groupthink

Yes. And quit calling them fur babies. That is embarrassing.

Having a dog is similar to having a toddler. I’ll agree to that.
