Imagine thinking of all the money we need to spend on a farm through a single income household while also imagining we needed to spend it on other humans.
We’re barely getting by as is. Now add a tiny human or two to that. Everyone is miserable and nothing gets done. Two Neurodivergent humans who barely function on a good day dealing with all the chaos of modern life and financial restrictions… “but think of the good moments”.
I have that with my dog. He jumps up on me every day I come home from work.
The one who past last May did. We’re back up to two but there’s still a soul missing from the house. But our newest seems to have absorbed some of his personality with how she acts. It’s not the same, it never will be, but it’s somehow familiar.
I’m glad to hear your coping. I’m on the opposite end. I don’t do pets and I do have a child. At the end of the day it’s whatever keeps you happy given the circumstances. Everybody is different.
Sorry in advance, unexpected brain dump inbound. Sadly, evolution doesn’t factor in happiness or anything apart the ability to procreate and survival of a species. We are living in a time where we way outlive our need to be here. No wonder suicide rates are higher after “mid life” and crazy biological processes happen like menopause. Survival in later life is irrelevant from an evolutionary point of view. But here we are.
Child or no child. Dog or no dog. Let’s all do what we can to be happy and support those who we can support on the way.
No apologies needed. Be good and do good. In the end that’s what is important. It doesn’t matter how you go through life, how you procreate, who you fuck, or what you do. As long as you leave the world at the end of the day better for those behind you. Spread love to those you love and those who don’t love you because they need it.

That dog is going to leave a massive void once it expires by the sound of things.
