For many Americans, pets are substitutes for the children they never bothered to have - Had a boss that had a dog and a grown daughter; when I mentioned my bride and I were starting a family he advised against it, he indicated his dog took care of about 85% of his nurturing needs and children were too expensive (he was a multi-millionaire) and he would never have had a kid if he had known that before. Sad.

Not everyone should be or is meant to be or will become a better person by being a parent.
Jails and threads here are full of stories of those who either shouldn’t have had offspring and the victims of their botched attempts.
