whats with the parents/ pet q's?

why do people ask anything on this site… it’s nice you’re open and respectful, however, a lot of parents and people in general arent… which explains why a lot of people are asking the questions they are…

Kids, I guess, are hoping that they will be able to get an argument that a parent would accept I suppose… I’m not a parent so I’m not entirely sure what would convince me (however I am old enough to realize my parents were right when they said they’d end up taking care of the dog!) They want to know, what would convince you, as a parent to allow your kid a pet…

I’m a parent, and I woulnd’t take advice from a website about actions for my child?! I have no idea what other peoples motives are…why would I take my own judgement over my own when it comes to MY CHILD?!?!?

I’m open and respectful enough towards my children, I don’t just ever say ‘NO’ to my children, I explain my reasoning behind my decision to enable them to understand why I say what I do, if they have a counter argument, then GREAT! seriously, that shows initiative, but I expect them to find the real direction, not others to give it to them.

but I know most parents arn’t so accomodating

I think they just want to know what to say.

I don’t know and yes we can=)
