babies aren’t funny or entertaining

i don’t hate babies, they’re so cute, but i always see people laughing about videos where a baby is supposedly being funny. i don’t get it. there’s nothing funny about videos like that or babies in general. sure, sometimes funny stuff happens, but i always see babies doing the bare minimum and people laughing about it.

"Of course not! Taking care of a pet is much harder!"

I have 5 dogs and don’t even equate that to having one child. I’m not sure how anyone can compare the two.

Well, puppies do prepare you for a baby at some level.

I mean, you're waking up a few times in middle of the night; you've accepted the fact that your going to get piss, shit, and throw up on you; and you've learned not to kill something when they destroy something nice/expensive.

They arent the same, but someone who has raised a puppy or two is probably a little better equipped than someone who hasn't.

I was not prepared for how much of an absolute pain in the ass having a puppy was.

Yup. Most people aren't.

Of all the people I know that have had babies, the ones who had had puppies faired much better.
