Everyone’s got their own priorities. I’ll take the dog and Ferrari over the kids.

Haha, same here. Dogs are enough work, couldn't imagine kids.

Dogs are just kids that stop developing at about 18 mos. I love my dog, but she dumb.

Hell, dogs has gone totally out of control too, out on local trails, parks, etc. So many people owning dogs now that don't have the space or resources to really care for them. It just gets worse when you start talking about kids. Many businesses depend on your consumption in the future because you get married, have kids, etc. They hit you non-stop with advertising and hints about how great it is to have a family, have kids, etc. It's not for everyone, but you get the pressure all the time, because kids mean $$$ for businesses.

Vile things. Noisy, in your face, bitey, destroy shit, shit everywhere, they stink up the house ........... just cannot stand them. I grew up on acres and had an outside dog, that wasn't too bad, but inside, urrrrgh spare me.

I am guessing. But child care was 250K as we both work so two kids in day care was 80% the cost of a nanny so just got a nanny.

From there, i mean diapers, food, stroller, car sets, plane tickets, recreation, clothes etc ...... GOTTA be 100K, just has to be.

I'll be sure to remind my kids of the Ferrari they prevented me from having

Alfisti · 12-20-2021, 12:59 PM

I went into it figuring $1m to raise two kids, ballpark.

Humdizzle · 12-20-2021, 03:03 PM

its very expensive any way you slice it

then if you want your kids to have a leg up on the competition its even crazier (private school, first car at 16 paid for so they can study / do extracurriculars to build college resume while other kids work a job, gas/insurance, of course they want to go on spring break with friends, paying for their college and grad school so they aren't left with crushing debt when they start work, etc).

My kids will have a leg down on the competition the way I did... crap school, no car, forced to work during school.

I do have a college fund set up though... so they're already starting better off than I did.

Agreed. Hating kids is no big deal. I have no issue expressing that to people. I tell my co-workers that and they think i'm crazy lol

But to hate dogs???? WHAT?????

Humdizzle · 12-22-2021, 03:12 PM

90% of people i know don't take care of their dogs like they should.

the ones that do you would never know they had a dog in their house. they'd have regular grooming appointments. nails trimmed. breath won't stink because they brush their teeth regularly and give them healthy food (or even a raw diet) instead of cheapo kibble from the store. be trained not to run up and lick everyone or bark at the doorbell.

the ones that do look after them... its a sight to see. my friends german shepherd is better behaved and smarter than most kids and has zero stink.

Alfisti · 12-23-2021, 08:57 AM

Your dog stinks, they all stink. The second I walk into a house I smell dog...if there's dog. Some are worse than others but it is there. It's always there.

Now that I can agree w, one can always tell if they have a dog. ALWAYS. Dog ppl's noses are just desensitized.
Don't even get me started about those brown rings of gross all over the home

Dogs are beautiful creatures but A LOT of upkeep, I've considered them but my time for them has passed unfortunately.

Alfisti · 12-23-2021, 03:52 PM

Again on 5 acres, outside dogs, they were really easy. Just hard farm animals. Always cross breeds too, pures are soft.

So no real cost, ate left overs and no vet visits.....

Brown rings?

Those of us that bath our dogs on the regular don't have stank azz dogs. Yes, they all smell sometimes...like coming in from the bathroom in the rain.

Anyway, I hate cats. Box of shit on my house? NOPE!

At least a dog gives a crap about you and may be able to protect you.

Yep, upkeep. When ours dies, we're not getting anymore
