Tell me you don't have a dog or a kid without telling me you don't have a dog or a kid.
I have both, 3 years ago I had neither. I get where you're coming from, but it's a bit ignorant to assume (dog)parents wouldn't put that dog/kid on a pedestal. It's what they live for.
I have kids. I do everything in my power to make sure they don't turn out like I described. It's a lot of fucking work and most people aren't willing to do it. My spouse works in a daycare. Parents these days do not parent. They just want to be labeled as one.
Parents these days aren't any different, not really. Having kids is the default life path for most people, so of course a good percentage are gonna suck at it.
