Parent’s logic is controversial at times. If your family members swear they’ll never allow a pet in the house, don’t get upset right away! Experience has shown that moms and dads change their mind and easily forget their declarations as soon as they see a couple of little furry paws.
Here at Bright Side, we’ve gathered solid evidence that the parents who were against any pets love their pets the same, if not more than they love their kids.
