Pets

At what age do you allow your kids to have pets?

Any age is fine actually, as long as you teach them how to care for the animal & also about responsibility. Ultimately, no matter what pet you get you have to research throughly on the animal first as you are to be responsible for supervising the animal & your child at the end of the day. ☺️

I’m not really into having pets so we’ll probably not have any. But in general, having pets is a commitment and if they really do want to get one, they will need to demonstrate to me that they have the commitment to care for the pet.

Any age is fine with me. But my husband hates fur so unfortunately no pets in our home :(

Afraid of animals. So nope until they’re married/ have their own house haha
