Although...the counter arguement is...eventually you can teach your kids to be somewhat self dependent....you'll always have to feed your dog and pick up it's crap! But yeah, pets have a quicker learning curve...my first dog had me up in the middle of the night for the first 4 months or so having to be let outside and it was a year until he learned to sleep in. Second dog was about 2 months and would sleep in at 6 months. I will admit that I do use my dogs as a tool to project what my wife, may or may not do with kids though...she won't go out in the back yard and pick up crap, and always tries to make me clean up any puke in the house.....So if we have kids...how is that going to work....probalby the same me thinks.
