I don’t get why parents need such a big and important reason why kids want pets.

Do they want to hear something like “I will have a deep emotional bond with this pet and I will bring down the patriarchy with my furry companion”.

Like noo? I want to sit at 3 am with my cat and eat ice cream out of a bowl and complain to my animal about the amount of work I have to do for the next day

Ugh
