Job from Hell

I seriously don't know how people have children! A good friend of mine has been dealing with a death of her own. She accidentally squished her cat in the garage door and went through a great many measures to save him, to the tune of $2000, and Barnum, the cat died.

A little over a year ago I wouldn't have understood the pain and anguish my friend is going through. When people lost their pet (literally or to death) I would just think to myself, "It was only a cat/dog! Get over it!" But now that I am a pet owner myself, I can feel their pain! I love my cat.

So, I say, how do people ever have children? I just can't take responsibility of another human life, especially when the kids are too young to verbalize their needs or what ails them. It hurts me when my cat seems distressed and I literally feel helpless, I can't imagine if it were my child.

Kudos to all the mothers out there. You have one hell of a job!
