Pets are an integral part of our families with parents treating both them and their own offsprings as siblings. But what happens when parents start playing favourites and prioritize pets over kids? Twitter user Meenu recently narrated how her father was worried about COVID-19 exposure to his beloved doggos and chickens instead of her and her siblings.
Take a look:
Dad telling me he's worried about exposure/infection because then who'll take care of his kids. I point out to him that we're all adults and he doesn't have to worry about us. He corrects me saying he meant his three dogs and a coop full of chickens.

A lot of people expressed similar sentiments and stories about their parents or themselves worrying about plant babies and fur babies.
The first thing my dad asked me after his by-pass surgery was if I had watered his plants. (26 pots on the terrace)

My parents also say the same thing. Who will look after the kids (dogs) if we call sick? 🥺 https://t.co/gQZ1707tEc

A few years back mom was complaining to grandma about the amount of food she has to make to feed 4 dogs. Grandma asked when did she get 2 more dogs. Then mom clarified that she meant me, bro and 2 dogs.😅

I said the same thing to mom, tbh. Who’s gonna take my kids for a walk? 😐
