People with loads of pets = in need of love and affection - discuss

[TheVillageIdiot]

People who acquire pet after pet, is it because they have some unfulfilled need in them to be loved and/or wanted/needed. Do they gther pets sub-consciously because they don't feel adequately love from else where

That's it really - open to the floor...

good for you PPH!

I don't think it is sad to love your pets I adore my 2 cats and would have a housefull but we don't have the room .I don't think it means I am odd though....

PPH I wish you'd been my mummy. I was never allowed one. (Flounces off in big hrrummphing sulk)

well my dd kept asking and I kept saying "no no no" then I thought "god, I would have LOVED a pony at her age, it would have been the defining event of my life, why am I being such a cow?" so there you go.

as my dd said to a friend of mine "mummy always wanted a pony to play with when she was little, and now she's got one" ahhhhhhh

can you buy me one PPH???pretty pretty pretty pleeeeeease????

ahhhh indeed fgs

Did you watch Mums On Strike today? 16 pets - the mess was grim!!

feeling a little chippy justonce? maybe you should join the "eating in the street" thread then

yes even I thought that was a bit too much!! lol

not chippy hippy

can i havwe one as well please?

as i wasnt allowed ballet/horse riding/gym lessons as a child, i have decided my kids can if they want.

tho i cant quite stretch to allowing them to have their own pony.

i was never allowed anything as a child either. i would have loved to have ballet/piano lessons etc/ my mum did get me a puppy once but took it away after 2 weeks cos she couldnt be nothered with it So if i can afford it and manage it i would like my kids to have things i could never have.

I agree with T about wanting you kids to have what you weren't allowed to have.

We had a coupole of cats but my mom got bored of them and gave them away. We weren't allowed anything else.

I begged and begged for clarniet lessons and a clarinet but never got one, or dance lessons etc.

Dd1 already does ballet even though i struggle to afford it sometimes, and if she wanted to learn a musical instrument too then i would let her.

i was given the chance by the school of having clarinet lessons (the school only had 2 clarinets and they rarely became available), but my parents couldnt afford the lessons. i still want to learn, is it too late?

Actually I had a horse whn growing up, very defining. I'd def. get dd one. Hopefully without the 8 years of begging that I did first

its never too late misdee!! go for it girl!

Oh c'mon, I can't be the only person in the world who knows someone with about 20 cats!!!

Or a couple of in their mid 30's with house full of stupid soft toys. 'uck

my mum and her siblings had ponies when they were growing up -in fact my grandfather had a horse and cart.

they also had a donkey, a cow, some pigs and some chickens, not to mention various dogs and cats.

they did live in a village though and there was a war on.

2 horses (one geriatirc one baby one) and a cat here, was pony mad as a girl but family couldnt afford one. Unfortunately?? DS1 & 2 more interested in football but at least it means I can sneak off riding and get some peace and quiet sometime. Suspect I will probably turn into some mad old country woman when the kids have all grown up

I have a large dog.

Not too keen on cats (make me itch) or ponies (make me sneeze, rather bitey). Would quite like a rabbit tho.
