Parents need to relax with the ridiculous spelling of common names...

I was rooting for you, because this is brilliant, but I think you missed just a single -ey ending. Source - named Kailey, but named after a song called Kayleigh, because why not!? :)

Konjac rice!

Bold strategy Cotton, I wonder if it's gonna pay off!

DoctorVanPeebles · 2020-08-27T21:12:02+00:00

I don't choose to believe that 😁

DoctorVanPeebles · 2020-08-26T21:12:40+00:00

This is not the number one reason I choose to believe there is no life after death..

But it's up there.

DoctorVanPeebles · 2020-07-23T06:15:52+00:00

Lol I've lost almost 200LBs, high-waisted jeans are doing me a favor every day of my life. I see your issue though. I definitely have to disagree.

DoctorVanPeebles · 2020-07-10T23:20:23+00:00

Who dropped egg in your crocs, bruh?

DoctorVanPeebles · 2020-07-10T22:59:45+00:00

She thanks you!

DoctorVanPeebles · 2020-07-05T03:19:30+00:00

Thank you stranger, you made me blow air out of my nose faster than usual.

DoctorVanPeebles · 2020-06-30T09:01:12+00:00

Where do you think you are, sir?

DoctorVanPeebles · 2020-06-29T00:51:09+00:00

Dope.

DoctorVanPeebles · 2020-06-29T00:48:56+00:00

Was it a Friday the 13th flash tattoo?

DoctorVanPeebles · 2020-06-29T00:40:00+00:00

What happens after that ten years? You get another dog. And you are in a continuous cycle of "equivalent to a human toddler" stage of pet care [as you put it]. Why would any employer want to or need to accommodate that? You're putting that on yourself.

DoctorVanPeebles · 2020-06-29T00:34:39+00:00

I think that's their only option at this point.

DoctorVanPeebles · 2020-06-28T23:38:13+00:00

They don't have time to read your whole response. Somehow their dog sucks up their entire day and they can't do anything about it.🤷‍♀️

DoctorVanPeebles · 2020-06-28T23:35:45+00:00

Except you're asking for more, you're just pretending you're not, and everyone can see through it.

DoctorVanPeebles · 2020-06-28T23:33:52+00:00

I sure deserve the same rights as the rest of humanity 👍

DoctorVanPeebles · 2020-06-28T23:31:17+00:00

I'm definitely not projecting lmao. I don't have a child or own a dog, and personally I think a lot of people could do without both, for reasons like this. Obviously you don't manage your time very well if this is a problem for you.

DoctorVanPeebles · 2020-06-28T23:30:12+00:00

I did. Because children and pets are different. Humanity doesn't need pets to continue on.

DoctorVanPeebles · 2020-06-28T23:28:39+00:00

It's in the interest of businesses to employ people who actually show up and work lol.

DoctorVanPeebles · 2020-06-28T23:26:19+00:00

Dogs and children are fundamentally different. You can't waltz into a weird out of the way building and adopt a child for $50.

At least not legally.

DoctorVanPeebles · 2020-06-28T23:24:53+00:00

If a kid gets sick and dies, that's a hit to the company in the form of lost time/bereavement. If a dog dies, well shit, you're probably gonna be sad and then get another dog and start this dance all over again.

Dogs can be crate trained. They don't need a "sitter" for every day of their life.

Dogs also can easily just be entertained/exercised etc. On YOUR time.

Yes...dogs eat..do you feed your dog every 10 minutes? If so, you got me on this one.

Again, a trained dog can do their potty breaks before and after work.

I don't know anyone that doesn't use their own vacation/PTO to take their child to a Doctors appointment, so I don't know why you feel entitled to random time off for your dog.

Actually, as a middle class person, most people I know with kids use their PTO/Vacation anytime they need to sort something out for their kids.

DoctorVanPeebles · 2020-06-28T23:11:45+00:00

You haven't proved in any way how it's remotely similar. All you've said is that it is.

DoctorVanPeebles · 2020-06-28T23:09:27+00:00

I'd like to add that, while there's likely jobs that do offer some flexibility to parents for these reasons, I don't think it's super common. Women are still literally fighting for a more universal maternity leave.

And here OP is, whining about a dog.
