The Avocado Parenting Thread Talks Pets

Hello fellow parents and caregivers of children!

There are a bunch of new parents here (raises hand) and there are plenty of veteran parents, as well as people who have experience caring or helping to care for children, like teachers, baby-sitters, aunts, and uncles. Coming together will help all of us, whether we need advice, commiseration, or just a space to let it out. Being a caregiver of small humans can be hard, but also rewarding and wonderful, so we can also share in the joys of watching little humans get to be big humans.

Suggested topic: Pets

Many people think that having pets as a kid teaches children empathy and responsibility. Some people just don’t want the work.

Do you have pets? What do the kids think? Do they help take care of the pets? How did you decide on what kind of pet to get?
