We have no children, but do have a cat, a shark, and quite a few fish.
My family is Grace and Sissy. Our cat and fish are pets, which occupy a space somewhere between family and highly valued posessions. It might be more accurate to say that the pets are highly valued posessions.
There's nothing wrong with becoming very attached to one's pets, or even thinking of them as family. Equating them with children is, I think, a wee bit foolish.
Wanting to bring your pet along on a vacation isn't insane, but taking offense when pets aren't invited and comparing them to the children that are invited is going a bit overboard.
