Having a dog is legitimately more than a kid 90% of the time if it's an indoor dog you treat like a kid. It's different, but constant and the dog never becomes self sufficient. It's also more challenging to travel with them.

With 4 kids and a dog, I tell people this, but no one believes me. Dogs can absolutely be harder than kids a lot of the time.

  Forgive me- four kids, but how many boys? My dogs can't even comprehend how to be as difficult as my boys.

    One boy. But I’ve never had to spend 20 minutes chasing him to get him back in the house in the morning so he isn’t stuck outside in the cold all day.

I'm sorry I have had both kids and dogs. Dogs are WAY easier and less expensive than kids. On the positive side, kids are 1000% worth it and are with you for your lifetime. There is very little comparison between the two Why are kids compared with pets? . Would anybody compare a spouse with a dog ? Such comparisons are demeaning to both sides of the equation.

  Not quite the same as comparing a spouse to a pet. Both children and pets are 100% dependent on you so there are similarities.
