Dogs are just kids on easy mode.

Dogs can be trained, kids are just shit.

But ten years in, the dog will still need help with shitting.

Dogs can't fix you a sandwich when they're 3, bake brownies when they're 8, grill salmon when they're 12, or get together with their siblings to fix you a big pot of chicken noodle soup when you're sick.

Or, ya' know, care for you in a loving way before you die b/c they'll outlive you by being younger.

Kids have their own natures, but nurture makes it so that kids are what you make 'em. Seems you had to deal w/ crappy parents who didn't know how to turn coal into a diamond.

I loved my kids and poured my heart and soul into them and the result is just hurt, so maybe count your blessings that things worked out well for you and that maybe you won’t end up forgotten in a nursing home like the rest of us lol
