It's cute, but I cringe whenever people refer to a dog or a cat as "my child"

You missed the memo. Children are too expensive, so now pets are the new children, and plants are the new pets. Goldfish are the new plants.

Sure, but we don't actually call goldfish plants now, just because the cost of ownership changed! Words have meaning, dammit!

My plant died today so I flushed it down the toilet.

I cringe whenever someone can't stand others enjoying life in a different way.

Personally I cringe whenever people have children.

Sympathy pain, I get it
