Kids just adore pets and would excitedly want to take care of their own pets. Parents on the other hand want to give in to their kids wishes but would think twice since taking care of a pet entails additional “WORK”.

We don’t have a pet yet but somehow we have already eliminated some options of what pet we can’t have in our house. And these are the following:

1) Dogs – aside from the amount of time and effort that we needed to take care of them, my Hubby is not a dog lover at all.

2) Cats – Cats are not good for small children who are sensitive to furs. Since our boy has mild asthma, we surely can’t have these furry friends. I like cats by the way.

3) Rabbits- Rabbits are quite sensitive with their surroundings. We actually had 4 rabbits in our house and all of them died. So, I guess we’re not meant to take care of rabbits.

So, with the top 3 pets off on our list, what’s left for our family?

1) Fish - Oh, it’s the easiest to take care. We just need to buy an aquarium or pond supplies if we plan to have a fish pond, then put them all in and feed them regularly.

2) Birds- They’re easy to take care too, but it’s quite a pity to see them in their small cages unless our future house has an aviary then we can freely put them inside.

Anyways, when our kids are a bit grown up, we’ll have to let them choose between fishes or birds.
