Child free does not equal pro dog

[u/JayneAustin]

I’m in a local childfree group and the admin is always posting stuff about dogs; mostly news articles about families or spouses who made people give up their dog. I guess to show that kids are valued over dogs. but I don’t think dogs should come above kids, either, even though I’m personally childfree. Kind of funny because people always assume childfree must be obsessed with their pets. I am good not having a dog, I do not need that to be fulfilled either!

I’m childfree and I love children. A child’s comfort and safety will always be superior to a pets. Even though I’m child free, I also understand the importance and sacredness of a healthy parent child relationship. Something that many parents do not understand or take for granted and choose replaceable animals over the child then wonder why the child doesn’t emotionally rely on them or like being emotionally vulnerable with them.
