MY mom is scared of pets, including cats.. lol =D Well i do like pets though, but not dogs and cats, rather exotoc animals like snakes, iguana etc.. lol =D Yeah, if one decides to keep a pet, they must be able to take good care of it, and not let it go to waste, or even worse, abandon it!! Those owners are deemed irresponsible as well as setting a bad example for kids too

Really, you are not afraid of them especially the snakes my mom hate it most..and iguanas may be better than snakes.. that is true as owning a pets one should treat the animals like a part of the family as when they are neglected tend to be sick and sad to most of the times... Do you have beliefs too that taking care of pets bring luck or when somebody get sick on the house your pet would be the one to catch the sickness thus saving his master from sickness?

Why? Is your mother dislike pets or you? As my mother do not like cats too or any pets because of the litter smells bad and they acts like you have kids around have to feed and care for them most of the times...some think of it as an added responsibility..then the worst f you over feed them likely to have a diarrhea then mess my homes that is why I keep my pets outside of the house most of the times.. Yeah, having pets provides security and companionship..then they are very much affectionate, warm,loving and loyal.. then the loony most of the times have pets to provides them happiness which they fail to get from the attention from their friends or family member lack of concern and sympathy..

hi maximax, That is very wonderful to have pets who are both adorable and affectionate. Truly, your kids would really love them just being around with them as they could derive much pleasure by being their constant buddies. Also it gives children joy that they would not feel bored. The things which fascinates me as the pets becomes playful you could really sense they enjoy the company of humans as they are being well feed and receive lots of care. Pets are great companion indeed..

I have grown up with animals in my life, and I'll never stop having them around me I'm happy to take care of them because they do the same for me!! We have 3 dogs, 3 cats, 2 birds and 2 fish right now. They're all my babies and I never tire of them!!!

hi lily, pets really are important parts of every childhood memories as even to the times they reach their adulthood the interest in taking care of the pets never wean..and stop instead they think of pets as a loyal companion,friendly and cheerful treating them like a real family members. Thus, pets in general promotes form of entertainment, relaxation and helps in releasing one stress. Yeah, fish is the easiest types of pets to take care of while in my cases I care to 1 female cats and dozens of lovebirds. Yeah, you are right the only problem with having to care for fish is in terms of over feeding and when the water becomes dirty then have to clean it frequently. Thanks for responding.

hi lily, yeah, you are right, pets are great companion and they are sweet and lovable. They show their love to you when dogs waggle their tails and ears when they see you. In cases of cats they keep on following wherever you go and to get your attention some cats like to lick or scrub their furs on the feet of their pet owners just to get notice. They are loyal and very friendly playmates. Have a nice day!

hi samrie, Yeah, pets are great loyal companion as they provide entertainment as playmates to the children. By being able to play with pets and feed them on time. The children could learn a lot of values they could develop understanding attitude and the ability to take care of other beings not just human but animals too. They could also develop a lot of motivation to keep the pets clean by bathing them and as a provider of security as in the case of the dog they could protect owner from bad elements. Your children at earlier ages have been expose to care for animals may develop a sense of compassion and sympathy as they develop values of kindness and caring as the bonding between children and animals develop.thanks.

yeah,that is true as i observe pets are like little children too and one need to be responsible to take care of them or else they would get sick and die earlier. because they have their own own ways to show to their pets owner their love by giving a lot of affection and as a sources of entertainment. Thus, they are playmates not only by children but with adults too.

hi greychunny, Yup and they are great loyal companion they are more closer than a rel best friend as they would not judge or forsake you as they would always be around to care, play and have fun with you. And just like having a kids they also need demand support and attention as they also feel lonely when they are lacking. I do agree pets are very affectionate as they could make their owners happy and as you mention stress reliever too.. thanks.

My mom too hate pets but I mange to keep her understanding open that pets are lovable but she hate the clean up process as taking care of pets requires a lot of attention likes rearing a kids. In your cases it is an exemption as your daughter have asthma it is really a must to avoid pets as their furs is an allergen. yeah, those games in facebook is very addictive and they are quite fun to play with...Thanks for responding.

Hi pose, yeah, having the ability to care for pets and owning them teach children to becomes responsible in caring and feeding. It teaches children the values of being kind to animals, extending this beautiful traits not only to the animals but also to the way a children socialize with her neighbors and playmates.

Hi paula, I too is a animal lovers and when i away at home or in travel I have to call my companion in the house to remind them to feed my pets 3 times a day. As I could not really enjoy going out knowing that my pets are hungry and need to take care of them like babies or children. I treat them as part of my family. I also have pets and have 1 female cat and dozens of love birds. I love to feed them everyday as they are really affectionate especially the cat is very endearing and love to hug her fur while circling on my feet. While,the lovebirds, everyday have to feed them and look on their feathers while swaying on the branches with their mate. It really makes my day cheerful. It is also true having pets in home reflected the personality of the person as the manners she treat an animals reflects also the attitude of the person as kind, caring, loyal friend and respectful. Your daughter is so lucky to have you as her mother as you allow her to have her own pets as some parents are wary of having pets around as they think of some pets may endanger their children, for examples afraid the pet would bite or harm their children. So it is also good to choose pets which could easily follow command,obedient and friendly that you could trust to leave with them your children playing around with them. Your daughter really develop a close bonding with her pets, thus develop sympathy and compassion which all a good traits..Thanks for responding.

Pets could be a companion by children and serves also as playmates in cases the child have few real friends. It is during childhood that children becomes playful that they learn to react to become friendly and sociable at the same time.
