    Well puppies ARE much cuter than human children of any age.

    That’s just an objective fact and not at all my subjective opinion!

    A golden retriever puppy doesn’t have an oversized head that looks like it’ll snap off if handled improperly

    The pathological need to make your baby everyone else’s business needs to be studied

      Its not " look at the cute thing you must want to hold it" its " please take the cute thing. I am exhausted & NEED A FREAKING SECOND."

      Yeah. It is very hard to understand unless you experience it. I think it’s a change in brain chemistry but could also be trauma from the stress and lack of sleep. 🤷

        Yeah, generally speaking if my “brain chemistry” needs to change for me to understand something, that sounds more like trauma than rationality

      As a parent, I get so many people that are so thrilled to hold the baby (why?? It’s a droll machine! My very own droll machine that I live but why do you want a part of it?) that it becomes normal to offer the droll machine around. Obviously, I am also not an asshole and accept the nos, and also accept that some people pretty much disappeared from my life because they don’t want to deal with the drool machine or all the constraints of the droll machine.
