Why do you park in a driveway and drive on a parkway?!Why do they sell tropical fish at the pet store, then?

Yeah theres a huge difference then taking care of a pet and raising a child. A pet you meet their basics needs, train them to an extent that suits you if possible.Exact same thing. Take my 8 year old son for instance. He's been hiding under his bed for the last six months. Saw him for the first time this morning. My how he has grown
But then you misinterpret the term, to be honest.Hobby is just a throw away term to link it with a living animal (to me).
Not to mention losing a child would be the most soul crushing, horrible experience I can think of. Losing an animal you've cared for for years is sad, but not a life destroying event.Yeah theres a huge difference then taking care of a pet and raising a child.

You don't teach your dog to look both ways before crossing a street. Wish you could...
With Kids you have to teach them a higher form of thinking, how to make good choices, morals, standards, ethics.
You have to guide a child through much higher level of thinking that even if your pet could comprehend you wouldn't be able to relay the information to them.
You never have to explain to a pet why it needs to eat it just does, or does not.
A pet will never ask you the question why, a three year old will ask you this question roughly 200 times per day.
For a lot of us here it is more of a fetish. For example:Is it just me that absolutely hates the term hobby when referring to keeping T's?
There just seems something fundamentally wrong to me with keeping living animals and referring to that as a hobby.
Stamp collecting is a hobby. Train spotting is a hobby. Caring for a living animal isn't. To me.
Well that's it. I've let off a tadicum of steam.
Oh yeah? Well then what's happening here? http://i.imgur.com/XkT1GYQ.gifvYou don't teach your dog to look both ways before crossing a street. Wish you could...
I vote for this being the new term for "hobbyists"spider hoarding weirdos
It would be funny as hell though:Yeah theres a huge difference then taking care of a pet and raising a child. A pet you meet their basics needs, train them to an extent that suits you if possible.

I don't know. For me the word 'culturist' brings up the image of someone pruning his bonsai.Arachno culturist(s) perhaps?
