I have two very demanding cats, and I can only imagine a fraction of the effort it takes to raise humans half as well.
I have two dogs, 30+ chickens and two pigs.
If I had to come home and help deal with kids I don’t think I’d live much longer.
I put a humidifier and a dehumidifier in the same room and let them battle it out.
Then I put wax in the humidifier and now the whole room is shiny.
Well that’s my entertainment for the weekend sorted
This is why I have neither kids nor humidifiers.
You should totally get a humidifier it’s the best purchase I’ve made in the last 5 years
My rooms moldy enough without one
Do you live somewhere in the Midwest of the US?
Apparently cold and desert-dry winters are uncommon basically everywhere else. Siberia is probably similar, since we share a highly similar climate, but beyond that, most of the world is damp and moldy in winter. Humidifiers for the home are pretty uncommon elsewhere.

When your kid begs for a pet and promises to do all the work caring for it, it’s time to seriously consider it. Don’t make the mistake of believing they will actually do all the work or insisting they do it all, because it’s unfair to the animal. But if they can do some, it’s good for their growth. And having each other for play and companionship makes them both just a little easier for you to take care of.

I had snails when I was a kid and we made the mistake of getting a species that was non-native to our area, so when we got bored of them it was a whole Thing to get rid of them. So from a former child snail owner, try to get some you can dump in the woods when they’re tired of them.

I have plants, a humidifier, and I dabble in fermentation. This is as much maternal behaviour anyone will ever get out of me.
I always refer to fermentation projects as pets
Yeah this winter the 2 year old humidifier spelled a little moldy
