Never understood the whole gifting cars or pets to your kid in movies. Even if you can afford it, why would you gift a fucking car like it’s nothing.
Oh and don’t get me started on the gifting pets part. If anyone actually dies that irl, they clearly don’t deserve to have pets. You don’t just gift a fucking living being which comes with a lot of responsibility
Pets to your kid I can understand. My cats are on the way out (one passed this year and the other is 16 and not in good health).
My kid is already asking for a dog. I know if I gift a dog it’s actually on me to look after it. Gifting to someone who isn’t a minor or outside your household though? That’s a shitty move
I still think one shouldn’t do that. It gives the wrong impressions to your child that gifting a living creature to someone is acceptable. If your kids really wish for a pet, let them research into the topic, research on your own to and present all the responsibilities that come with owning a pet. If they still want one support them in looking for for one and after finding one take them with you to buy/get it as well as buy the most essential tools for pet ownership. That way they should learn that deciding to own and take care of another living being is a big responsibility while giving them the option to learn for themselves and grow closer to the pet they chose themselves.
After getting a pet let them handle stuff like walking a dog themselves for example (depending on the age) or if they are too young take them with you on walks or a trip to the vet.
I’m not at all a qualified person in any of these fields. I’m a student that studies computer science. My family does have a dog though (which my brother wanted. I’m more of a cat person :D)
Those are just some recommendations that feel right to me.

Because to some people 50k is nothing. Why do you care
