I like the fish idea :) I think I would like an aquarium...though right now it sounds like extra work to clean the tank...LOL. Those of you who have fish, do you find the kids want to tap on the tank and bother the fish all the time? Do you have it where they can touch the tank?

I have three dogs. My husband has a service dog (Lab), I have a Goldendoodle, and my son who is still at home has a Basset Hound. My parents don't mind the dogs. They know the quality of care I provide is wonderful and put that above dogs in the house. They are mostly separated. We are downstairs and the dogs are upstairs so it's not a huge issue. For someone who has no dog though it would probably seem intimidating. I've been lucky so far. I think it also depends on the parent and child. Allergies are bigger now than 20 years ago so I imagine it does limit a person somewhat when they have animals.
