They are apartment sized.
- conductr 4y agoWhen people can’t afford homes or kids. Frenchy it is.
- bayesian_horse 4y agoNobody can afford children. Or maybe everybody? In most western societies there is now a totally overblown standard of what you are supposed to provide to a child. Yes, it's good to talk about what children need or even to argue what is optimal. But the best you can do is all you can do. My personal opinion: If you feel an honest need for children and have the opportunity, don't wait. Maybe there are some reasonable caveats or reasons to wait a few years, but not many. People with a desire to have children (some people like me don't have it) won't be much happier without having at least tried than in a "suboptimal" situation after becoming parents.
- theshrike79 4y agoIdiocracy was a documentary. The intro scene about having children is still 100% valid: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sP2tUW0HDHA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sP2tUW0HDHA
- conductr 4y agoI wish I had kids earlier (I was almost 40 when becoming a parent). But it’s hard to come to that conclusion until you have kids and realize you’d rather have more shared time on earth than whatever you were doing prior.
- ripley12 4y agoEhh, I feel like people use that as a justification for tiny dogs but it's not a great one. I have an 80lb greyhound in a not-very-large apartment and life is easy. Energy levels are more important than size (greyhounds sleep a lot) when it comes to apartment living for dogs.
- bayesian_horse 4y agoIn general I think it's better for the dog to be small if the apartment is small. But yes, greyhounds and similar breeds are easy to satisfy: Run a few hundred meters once or twice a day and they'll sleep off the rest.
