I really want a dog but I can barely take care of myself with an insane workload and demands of everyday life. Trying to find a new job now but jobs can turn toxic suddenly and then I could be back in the same situation.

Makes me wonder how women manage motherhood on top of everything which would be even more demanding than a dog 🥲🥲

I wanted a dog when I first started my job, fostered a puppy that was absolutely perfect and had a breakdown because I realized being single with frequent travel and odd hours would not be a good life for it :(

Would you consider a cat? I always wanted to get a dog but didn’t for similar reasons. The cat distribution system found me and I’m honestly so glad to have a furry friend

Have you ever owned one? Why do you want one? Dogs are great companions, but a lot of work they are social animals. You can't leave them alone for 10 hrs a day and expect no mischief and no accidents. And you certainly should crate them while your gone.... way cruel.

Consider a cat. They are lower maintenance and can be left for a few days with an automatic feeder, kitty cam and back up neighbor/friend for an emergency.

But if you have never owned an animal, they shed, scratch furniture, take training and are expensive to maintain.

Cats are less maintenance but some cannot be left alone for multiple days. I have two cats and they are a bonded pair. One of them has separation anxiety, I mostly WFH, but on days I do not she is very needy upon my return and even on days I do WFH - she is very needy.
She’s my shadow all day. It’s hard to tell when you adopt them unless they lived with a family before. The needy one appears as the chill cat but she is not chill for companionship.

I’ve had to step away from social media for my own mental sanity as I have a major issue with comparing myself to peers when it comes to life stages. (Single female, 34, never married, no male prospects, dog mom.) As a result, I feel like I’m doing a disservice to myself professionally as social media is a HUGE communication channel. Any advice on staying away or including it in my life in healthy ways?

If a tax payer loses his job , govt. is not even paying even few thousands for unemployment allowance, who have been paying lacs to government as tax. What’s your thoughts on Indian taxation?
