I guess that is an opinion, but definately not at all fact. My pets are part of MY family and if my child was allergic to them I would find a way to make the situation tolerable for all involved. Being that I have had my pets for many many years, and a child would be new to the family, I would definately not dump my pets. Perhaps changing where the pets stayed in the house, etc. I know my FIL is allergic to cats and he stays at my house with my four cats and has no problem. He attributes this to how clean I keep it.
