Please don’t take this as being against kids - I have some of my own. Dogs are just… less stressful.

    Sad you had that experience. I only have dogs and can say for sure they need a positive and communicating environment to thrive in. They’re a reflection of me and my wife, our strengths and anxieties, and it helps us heal from our trauma as well.

    I have a strong feeling kids would be more complex yet a similar experience

      I shouldn’t be so anti-dog I guess, but truly being around the noise has made me go from being an animal lover to a dog hater. I realize it isn’t the dogs’ fault but, the people who don’t do anything to take responsibility for their animals.

      With kids it’s just the same thing for me, I have an aversion to loud noise and screaming. Some people seem able to cope but I don’t have any idea how. I have one cat and that’s enough work for me.
