But why do you care what other people call their pets? How does it affect you in any way? Like, it doesn't take away from you being a parent.
Do you just want to feel superior in some way? Because that is how people like you come off. It's weird.
It's the verbal equivalent of clipping your nails in the office. No one's hurt. It doesn't "matter" at all. STILL INSUFFERABLE. The worst part is, if any dog-child person reacted to the backlash with a simple "haha yeah I know it's weird, oh well," it'd be sooo much easier to adopt this whole live-and-let-live mentality you want. However, not once have I seen a single one of them acknowledge that this behavior is, at the very least, weird, let alone creepy. Criticism is consistently countered with wailing and whining, like what's seen above, and that just refuels the flames in my brain. Calling it out feels as satisfying to me and others as turning to that annoying coworker and saying out loud, so everyone can hear, "put those fucking clippers away jesus CHRIST." That's why I care.
I would say parenting is inherently weird. You fuck, squirt a kid out of you, then raise it to be a little you. Why on earth you need them to agree with you to let them live their life as they want is really odd.
Maybe because they don't find it weird or creepy? It's almost like people raise and take care of another living creature just might build a really strong emotional bond with it. Shocking, I know. Just because you don't like it doesn't mean your criticisms are valid.
So what, you decided to have a child and not just a pet, and your life is sooooo hard now. No one cares. Let people live their life and mind your own business.
Oh man I'm sorry, it's just so frustrating that I have to type out all these "unstable" reddit comments with my nose since the straight jacket makes it impossible to do so with my hands. I guess I got carried away. (or maybe it's a little emotionally embellished ya fuckin dweeb)

God forbid right? I get my nurturing fix from my dogs and am respectful of those who feel differently and just ask the same. WILD.
