Did anyone have a mom who would not let you get a pet when you were a kid? It always took a lot of convincing to get a pet when I was young.

My parents were really hard to convince but once we actually got a dog they really warmed up to him.

My mom definitely doesn't want animals in the house, but my dad just loves dogs. He has always thought that dogs are really good guardians for our home. Well as I grew older, I really got into dogs more

Both my parents didn't want me to have a pet when I was a kid. They told me I'm still to young to be responsible for a living thing. Well eventually they came around to buying me a fish and then later on a dog.

My mom never wanted pets. She likes animals but doesn't like to own a pet in the house. My dad had to talk her into it.

My mom is the exact opposite. She loves having pets around.

I think if the mom or dad is allergic to animals, then I can see why. But, some moms are clean freaks and really don't want the house ruined.

My mom wanted me to get an iguana..

Although my mom wouldn't allow me to have a dog of my own, my dad always finds a way to change her mind.

No my mom liked having pets. She just didn't like when they got into a lot of trouble or shedded too much hair.

I was allowed to get a pet when I finally started to show more responsibility. This didn't come until I was twelve years old.
