serious hot take The dehumanization of babies and the humanization of pets is horrible

I’ve heard people say that they would save their dog over a Random baby and that is insane. This even extends to the Clancy case where people are supporting a woman who MURDERED her 3 kids. People also calling their pets their “kids” is weird as shit. People are crazy and the world is going to shit

I got bitched at when I had my first kid because I joked it was like having a puppy. They crawl around, are always underfoot, eat and shit uncontrollably, dont know how to effectively communicate yet, are adooorable and give the best cuddles, everyone wants to see them, Im absolutely in love with them, etc etc etc. Apparently thats bad form lmao.
