Before you try having a child, try having a pet, or two.

This title came to my mind today while i was sitting outside laying on the ground playing with the cat, and at the same time listening to the child next door screaming and crying while his parents were trying to bathe him in a small swimming pool, and of course shouting at him to stop. What a fun activity huh?

I am 24, and i do not have any of that, neither a pet or a child, so i can only imagine what it is like. Or maybe, i know a little something about living with dogs and cats! I am at a friends house the past couple of weeks and when he is out to work i babysit his 2 dogs and 2 cats.

What i have found out after many days of experience is that animals, just like young children are very needy. They cry all the time, they need attention, you need to feed them, take them for walks, play with them, clean after them and so on.

So i believe that by living with animals for a while, you can get a taste of how it might be to have a child, or if you would like to have something like that in your life.

I see so many parents being frustrated and going crazy having to deal with their child, and having no patience. When a child or a cat cries, it means it needs love, give them your full attention.
