My dog feels the same way about me. I am God to him. Hopefully, when I have kids(couple more years) and they have grown up, they will tell me that they love me and then I will know that I have done a good job.
Which reminds me, I have to go call my mom, and maybe lay some flowers at my Dad's grave.

Pocon1,
I agree with you - animals certainly give unconditional love.
I never said having children isn't work. It certainly is - some people are cut out for it and some aren't. I just think it's too bad when the ones who really aren't have kids anyway and the rest of society pays the price. It is just as much a responsible and thoughtful decision to not have children as it is to have them. I admire people of both sorts. Even though times have changed somewhat, choosing to not have children still carries with it a stigma. If anything, social pressures increase with that decision.
