replace dog with baby.

Pretty sad how this behaviour is normalized: "nag until you get your way" is dysfunctional behaviour

Certain dogs have uses, like for shepherding sheeps. Most don't, though

Companionship is a major use.

[–] SlartyBartFast@sh.itjust.works 4 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

I keep mine as emergency rations. That's why I have weiner dogs

[–] acockworkorange@mander.xyz 1 points 4 hours ago

You sly dog.

Wife bad 😂😂😂

Basically me and my wife and how “we” now own two cats.

[–] abbadon420@sh.itjust.works 24 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

That's how I ended up with 2 cats, 2 dogs, 2 kids and 2 live-in in-laws.

[–] whaleross@lemmy.world 9 points 14 hours ago (2 children)

How much work are the in-laws?

[–] assassinatedbyCIA@lemmy.world 15 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

As long as you change their litter and feed them then it’s not too bad.

[–] whaleross@lemmy.world 3 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

What to do when they keep barking at the neighbours?

[–] abbadon420@sh.itjust.works 4 points 12 hours ago

You could have them castrated, that seems to do wonders.

[–] BudgetBandit@sh.itjust.works 5 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

And let me guess - the cats are more attached to you than to her?

[–] Cruxifux@feddit.nl 4 points 9 hours ago

Oh no, they like her way more.

[–] Dyskolos@lemmy.zip 4 points 13 hours ago

No thanks. We prefer free time and not being slaves to other beings' needs. Also we got more interesting hobbies that can surely take that extra cash 😁

I'm currently on phase 2 of her plan with my wife, but I'm meeting limited success. Does it only work once?

Not even for me, I like cats and some of them even tolerate me. My wife is super allergic though. Like throat closing and everything.
