I have ADHD but I'm an adult so I know that I need to leave reminders for myself and have a schedule so that I don't forget things. An eleven year old really shouldn't be owning pets in my opinion. There's a difference between calling an animal "hers" and having her actually take care of it.It’s not so much laziness as it is a focus issue. She has ADHD so I have to remind her of things a lot in general. A tarantula would be great since you don’t have to feed them every day or clean out the enclosure all the time etc., but I think they’re a bit too creepy crawly for her. All that being said, she’s 11 and I think most kids shouldn’t have pets unless someone else is helping them; but it’s not my decision to make, if it was I just wouldn’t have kids in the first place lol.
