LJB, I agree
Rabbits don’t cry. They are opininated like any child or person, but they show it in more acceptable ways .. *insert laughter here* I’m going to be an old mom, or I’m not even sure if I want children
I’m happy to clean litter boxes for the rest of my life! The weird thing is that they aren’t like those people that just really don’t care about their kids’ behavior. Like when you go out to eat someplace nice and there will be people their with their out of control children. They will be screaming and screeching at the top of their lungs, running around the table, climbing around in their chairs, just being nuisances. And the parents completely ignore them, sitting there talking with whoever. It is so annoying! And it makes me even madder when people say “oh you’ll understand when you have kids”. Since when is bad behavior acceptable in public? My parents would have NEVER let me act that way. Anyway, I told my husband that if we had a kid like our nephew, I would probably snap. I wouldn’t be able to handle it. Our niece was nothing like him. She was the complete opposite, really. So yes, I am still thinking it would be better to clean out litter boxes for the rest of my life as well.

I agree LBJ – my mother would have NOT put up with me or my brother acting up in public. Most the kids that do that around here it’s like 9pm and the parents have them out in a restaurant for dinner and are giving them SODA… then “oh they’re just kids, kids misbehave” as they scream their heads off, cry, throw a tantrum, throw food and plates and argh. At least when my rabbit throws his food plate, it’s cute and playful, or asking for food.

At least when my rabbit throws his food plate, it’s cute and playful, or asking for food. Totally! It’s insane what goes in commercial foods now and I’m certain it’s huge reason why little kids go crazy. It amazes me when I see adults feed them another lolly just to distract the kid for a few more minutes so they can keep talking. Then 5 seconds later the kid there for another one.
I don’t know about the unconditional love part (Otto’s a jerk sometimes) but they sure are cute! I love that just looking at them calms me down and makes me happy – they don’t even have to be doing anything other than laying out in the living room (and that’s the extent of their activity most days anyway).
The cuteness never gets old! The other day Rumball was completely asleep in a lopsided meat loaf position (leaning onto Jersey) with one paw extended way out in front. And he was doing the lip quiver thing. So funny! I swear my rabbits have made me laugh at least once EVERY day.
I also love that I don’t need to come home early to feed them – if I want to do something after work, they’ll just be asleep anyway and won’t notice that I’m gone.
Half your luck. If I’m late for feeding I will face what Lintini terms as “rage poop”.

Oh yes
I agree with you!My dad HATES little children that whine and cry at restaurants! It is his ULTIMATE PET PEEVE.. I think he breaks a vein staring at the parents
He doesn’t mind if it is a newborn – that is how they communicate… older kids.. he has no patience for 
When i cried in a store, my mom would take me out into the car to calm down. I also got the belt as a child so.. I knew better than to mess with mom and dad
Rabbits are easier than children, period
) They should give humans lessons on friendship.
