Pets are for people who don't have children.

Is it a selfish for a person or a couple not to have children? Ofcourse,there are several reasons why women can't have children. One reason is diseases. However, people can take children from the orphanages. The problem is that you don't know whether these children will be good or bad. They may have several diseases, which came to them by genes.  So, many people or couples prefer better to have a pet at home. These pets can replace them children or in many cases to practice their parental skills.

I agree with this .Some women can't born child and pets can substitute for them childrens.Playing with pets and looking after them they will feel themselves as parents and will not suffer from loneliness...

I support your point of view. Pets are good for lonely people. Otherwise, they can become mad and separated from other world.

Animals need love and attention just like kids do, so in that respect, they are not exactly "low maintenance." People who are gone all day long working while their poor animal is inside are irresponsible, I think, because (at least with larger animals like dogs) those animals need to go outside and play, etc but anyway animals are able to wait for you whereas children can't because they need more aatention. if you cant or dont want to have a child then you may have a pet and it will be a solution.

I don't say that you can't have pets,if you have at least one children. I mean that it is good to have pets for people with no children in order not to be alone. It was just my opinion.

Nope, they are for anyone and can be an enrichment to the lives of the child and the adults! :D it can also teach some responsibility if they pitch in with an animal that absolutely depends on them, lol.

I partly agree with you. I have examples from my life. First of all, my aunt live alone in private house. In order not to feel loneliness, she live with two dogs and a cat. However, she has children,but they live separately. Secondly, my second aunt and uncle have a dog too. They look after the pet in their spare time.

Pets are for people who'd like to have an animal chill with them to keep them company and admire them.

Children are created by people for many X, Y, Z reasons, however I highly doubt "Pets are for people who don't have children."

I don't say that it is 100% so. May be for about 70-80%. I just say that in many cases it is so. I approve these statement.

Using the word "replace" suggest otherwise.

Family pets teach children about friendship, responsibility, loyalty, and empathy (http://www.family-friendly-fun.com/family-life/pets.htm).

It's evident that many children love pets, from time to time they become like best friends or even like brothers(sisters), because they grow together and support each other.

But families without children may not have enough time to look after the pet and may not realize their responsibility for the pet.

I can't agree with you. If a person want to have time, he will have. As he would have time for child,he will always have time for pet.

Pets are for people who wants pets.
