Why More And More Young Women Are Choosing Dogs Over Motherhood

by pawbuzz on in Dogs 332

Truth be told (whether you like it or not…), some people just plainly prefer to have dogs more than to have children.

Yes, they've heard how wonderful and amazing having “real children” can be, but they argue that they have also seen and fear how the process of raising “real children” can be exhausting, stressful, and expensive.

There are young couples who adopts a dog just to see whether they are ready to have a “real family”. They feel that if they can take care of a dog, then maybe they are ready for “real children”.

While in the process of “testing” their capabilities as parents, more and more couples and even single adults are opting not to have “real children” and stay with their furry children.

Now, that's not necessarily a bad thing in our humble opinion, but it sure is a controversial topic for sure.

    No one should procreate just so someone can take care of them when they get old. You hope, but that should not be the reason to have kids. If i ever have kids, I’d check myself in a nursing home if I must because I would not want my kids’ lives to revolve around taking care of me. I would want them to be free and happy.

    Whether we have kids or not, if we stay in United States that’s where we will end up. Lol the majority of parents don’t have kids so that someone can take care of them when they’re older. At childbearing age I don’t think very many think about that just yet. Many parents become parents without thinking. I think many of those who don’t have kids may also be that way not necessarily because they don’t want kids…So many women just kept foregoing it for the perfect time, with the perfect person. It is much easier to find a perfect dog 🙂

    I hear that all the time when i say i dont know if i want kids. “But who’s gonna take care of you when you get old”. And you are right, nowadays many parents become parents without thinking. Scary! Having kids is the ultimate sacrifice… Yaiiiikkks. Scary as hell! No doubt it can be fulfilling, but man! That is one scary idea!

    I love dogs and always have and will, but they don’t feel the void and all the pain from not having children. Wanted children more than most. My dogs were so awesome. Back also when I didn’t know all this could happen. Francy, Pierre and Sierra…good times
