>Wait... So because I chose a life of not struggling to raise a child and I love my dog; I'm pathetic?

It's brutal to say such things and certainly to hear them, but objectively, yes.

This is one of those cases where the people who are most assertive about Doing X (in this case X = having kids) are specifically the types of people you do not want Doing X.

Just unbelievable levels of self-aggrandizement and scorn for your fellow humans in this comment. It is honestly a shame that you could propagate this forward another generation.

Having kids is good. Calling people "pathetic" for not wanting to or not feeling like they would succeed at it is bad and counterproductive.

I am simply providing a cold, social darwinist answer to the query. It doesn't bring me pleasure to say it, but I view it as the truth. Life is struggle. Nothing you do will be perfect. None of us were grown in a vat and we are here right now because of that struggle. Finding comfort in an animal that gives you unconditional love is a coping mechanism.
