My friend and I were just having this conversation a few weeks ago. She has a one year old (first baby) and my baby is my puppy :P She was never much of a dog person, but she used to obsess over her cat much like how I obsess over Stormy (although, I think I'm worse ha) and she said things completely change once you have a baby. She still loves her cat, of course, but says she doesn't feel the same way she used to. Another one of her friends used to be obsessed with her dog, but now that she has kids she can't stand the dog anymore. Everyone says you just don't understand until you have kids. While I'm sure a lot of things will change, I just can't imagine me loving my dog an iota less than what I do now. I genuinely love her and it sounds like you feel the same way. My advice is to just ignore them and once you have your baby you can prove to them that you have a big enough heart to love BOTH your baby and furbaby. |
