Would you prefer to have kids someday or just simply get a puppy? Or both?

Question

GrimmGothBabe · Accepted Answer

I have a kid. I never wanted kids. Happy accident. I would never change it and I would have maybe 1 more max. Tho I would've been equally happy to never have kids as well. Overall tho I think having my son has changed me into a better person and has made me heal childhood trauma and take better care of myself and value my life a bit more it fulfilled some unknown spot inside me that I never knew existed to have someone love me for existing and I enjoy teaching my child and nurturing them as i heal myself and make myself happy. It puts a fire under my ass making me want to be better and do better for them and provide for them and I think it helped my partner heal childhood wounds and grow as a person as well.

People prefer kids over pets?
Eww.

Not to offend anyone, especially you parents on here, but I'd happily take a puppy over a child anyday! Less stress, drama, not as expensive as a child... not to mention loyal, trustworthy, and affectionate- something most humans lack nowadays.

I got kids already so i guess I'll take the puppy. Tho I do want another kids. Its like you get better at it and want to do a better job next time lol.

Puppies are easy. Kids are a project you work on for 18 years and send em out into the world hoping you didntfuck them up too much. u

OlderAndWiser · Answer

I prefer cats because I can leave big bowls of food and water and clean litter pans and they are okay being left alone for three days. Can't do that with dogs!

Alyssa11 · Answer

A puppy sounds great but I’m gonna be honest and say it’s not in me to care for a pet and kids lol. I’d rather have kids than a puppy though.

Jessica405 · Answer

I certainly do not want kids. I don't want a puppy, either. I'd rather give a home to a rescue dog. Something medium sized, like a Springer Spaniel or a Border Collie.

Laciandmaci · Answer

Puppies!!! BUT I HATE the PUPPY stage! I have 2 puppies currently both 5 months old chewing up furniture even though they have a house full of different kinds of dog toys including teething puppy toys.

ShadezMcgee · Answer

Not opposed to kids. Although if you want an indicator of how one would be as a parent, watch how they take care of pets and interact with kids and teenagers.

Inexpensivefurniture · Answer

I was sterilized at 21 for a reason. I absolutely NEVER want kids. I am so incredibly ill suited to be a parent, I'll stick with my animals

innerman · Answer

Paolaa988 · Answer

I definitely WANT kids one day! Although puppies are cute, it’s my dream to be a mom and I’ll get a puppy for my kid too lol

fonduegirl · Answer

I love animals, but I'm very forgetful so I'd rather not have them. I love children, I just hate responsibilities. So neither.

ChiTown33 · Answer

I think I'm passed the kid stage. I don't want really to be raising kids well into my 60's. I wouldn't rule it out though.

PaynefulPleasures · Answer

Well I've done both however I would like to start fostering again for animals ✌️

douride2 · Answer

On the first part that decision isn't mine to make. I can't bare children. As for a puppy I'm away from home to much. It wouldn't be fair to the dog.

Adam1978 · Answer

AzzaBlue · Answer

I don't want kids nor can I have them. I do currently have two gorgeous, trouble making Mini Dachshunds.

Dchrls78104 · Answer

I might be too old now to worry about having kids. Right now my country is being eaten alive by COVID 19(which, some say, can cause erectile dysfunction) and if it continues in this way there might might be no one left to have kids with anyway; there might only be puppies and I might get one of those.

Asianguy123 · Answer

I don’t have children. I am gay. I had a dog for short time and cat too. I think I would get a boy friend and adopt a child. Someone proposed me when I was in New York City and I am going to go back to marry and raise children.

TacosRAwesome · Answer

Already have the catto. I want the kid next and the doggo when the kid is old enough to take it for walks.

Lliam · Answer

I'll take a cat or two. They are cute, funny, cuddly, have soft fur, and, most importantly, are low maintenance. Plus, they don't bark and they can cut down on the number of mice and voles in our garden (we live in the country).

MelissaMarie9614 · Answer

I most definitely want kids more than anything 100%! And then a puppy when my future kids are little older.

The_Outlaw · Answer

Well, I'll tell ya. I'll take a puppy any day because at least I don't have to send them to school and to college to further their education :P

Twinrova · Answer

Both. I am willing to endure a great deal of responsibility and frustration if it means I get all that cuteness in my life. Well, most of the cuteness comes from the dog, but still, kids can be cute too, I guess.

Janessa2021 · Answer

For now I just want a cat , a baby will be later on down the line

I have already had both. My kids are grown up now. I just got a new dog a few months ago

exitseven · Answer

I wasn't sure if I wanted kids but they came just the same. Now I am glad I did. I had pets too but it was too sad when they died so I think I will not do that for a while.

Jjpayne · Answer

I'll take both but I hope for a baby or adoption myself 🤞

Jamie05rhs · Answer

I hope to have a dog regardless. I don't know if I could see myself marrying someone who doesn't like dogs.
