Puppies Vs. Children - Teen Perspective.

Today at lunch, part of the discussion flying among my friends and I, were what we would rather have. Kids or Puppies. Don't ask me why, just read. *ahem*
For me as a 19-year-old, the thought of being a mother, is scary; 18 years of, training, teaching worry, stress, "fighting".....what if I do something wrong and turn my kids against me?
While I don't NOT want children, the responsibility of them is soo great, its not something I take lightly.
So at this moment in time; I am for the puppies 100%.

Puppies:

• Potty trained by six-months-old
• Adults by 1 year old
• Can be crated when you need a break
• Can't talk
• Are willing to be with you where ever you want to go
• Aren't demanding
• Don't Complain
• Mature quickly
• Comforting
• Are happy with the same old meal 365 days a year
• Are happy to see you no matter how long you've been gone
• Can't hit you and or punch you...although a bite would be worse then that....

Kids:

• In Diapers until at least 3
• Are demanding
• Can't walk until 1-3 years old
• Can't be crated in order for you to have a break.
• Will fight naps
• Can't be walked to make them tired
• Can't be re-homed if its not working out..*snicker*
• You can get sick if they do
• Have to a variety of meals
• Complain
• Talk Back
• Throw Tantrums
• Have fits
• Grow up and think they know more then their parents

The list could go on and on with both sides. Which is why I say once again (as I know my mother is reading this in horror) I want children, but not in the near future!

If you think about it, really and truly, my parents and other adults should be happy I feel this way about children, because that means the likely hood of me being a teenage mother is pretty much nil. There is no way I'm going to put myself in a position where this could be the result.
