  just say no

  Little known fact: Dogs do not come out of human’s vaginas.  You may have adopted that dog, but you are not it’s mommy, and that is OK.  It’s perfectly acceptable and you should be encouraged to treat your dog like a creature you’ve taken into your care.  It doesn’t need you to put clothing on it or take it to brunch.  It’s an animal, and if you died it would eventually eat your decomposing body. 

  

  People need to accept that being a pet’s owner and not a pet’s mommy is a good and vald thing. We live in a country where people have disdain for human children and fill their homes with animals instead. Perhaps it’s a good thing? Animals without discipline will maybe bite someone but most likely they will just jump on your couch. Children without discipline will become at best, assholes, at worst, social delinquents.  

  

  When I say, “discipline,” I don’t mean physical abuse.  I’m talking about boundaries and rules and how children are human beings just like everyone else and they need their parent to teach them about what’s acceptable behavior and what’s not.  The American Humane Association says, “parental or adult discipline of children should be designed to help children engage better with others and to modify or control their behavior. Providing appropriate discipline to children is one of the most essential responsibilities of a parent. And providing consistent and positive discipline helps children grow into responsible adults.”

  So many parents these days are afraid to say, “no,” to their children.  Maybe this is brought on by guilt.  I’ve worked for many parents who barely see their children because they each have high powered careers that take up most of their time.  Kids go to bed pretty early so if you work late you probably aren’t going to be spending much time with them until the weekend rolls around.  Then it’s all Disneyland year round passes, ice cream and pancakes.  The parent feels guilty for not being around so they spoil the child to show them how much they care.  

  

  Soon the kid develops a bad case of self entitlement and starts to act out when they don’t get what they want. Kids are also not beyond trying to manipulate their parents into feeling that guilt again so they can reap the benefits. Yeah, children can be real assholes sometimes.  That’s why they need a frame, a border, some limits.  There can be a lot of satisfying freedom to be had within the borders.  Your kid won’t hate you, he will respect you.  So will your dog.
