I was recently informed that having 7 cats and 2 dogs isn't healthy for an infant, and I care more for animals than humans, AND I shouldn't EVER have children if I don't agree with these statements. Harsh, and it hurt my feelings to have someone tell me I shouldn't consider becoming a parent. I've always thought I'd be a great mom. It made me feel like they thought my children would be living in squalor or something. I need to vent a little and I'm feeling very sensitive about this issue, due to the fact that I want to have kids someday, and still keep my animals! Does anyone else have, or know someone who has as many animals as this, AND kids? What do you think? Is it a big deal? I mean, besides the obvious cleanliness of litterboxes and all that. What's unhealthy about it? Am I just a crazy cat lady and can't see the "dangers"?
