We had hamsters three times. Every time, the stupid hamsters were either male and female and bred or came already pregnant. We would buy two then end up with 6. I don't know why we kept doing it. Obviously, the cannibal hamsters were the third set, we didn't get more after that.
My parents were going through a nasty divorce and my dad showed up on Christmas Eve with our Christmas gifts: hamsters.
If you want to piss off your STBXW, drop off some living rodents for her to take care of. Of course, my brother and I are were over the moon and so excited about our new pets, while my mom followed my dad to his car to curse him out.
My dad did the exact same thing! My mom was so pissed.
My dad randomly got me 2 dwarf hamsters in HS. I went to pet 1 and that fucker bit me and would not let go. So by instinct I shook my hand and he went flying. Against the wall. He fell behind my dresser and disappeared.

Really? So did my girlfriend who's parents were going through a divorce. I wonder if there was a divorced dad seminar they all attended.
My best friend paid ONE THOUSAND dollars to fix her bunny. Yes. A BUNNY. She has also spent 100's of dollars on her hamsters. I just... I love her but damn.
This reminds me of the time I spent $100 to take my dwarf hamster to the vet for a lump on her leg. It was cancer (shocking I know!). It shrunk a little with antibiotics but eventually killed her. I cried so hard when I buried her. I laugh at myself about it now. I was ridiculous lol.
@nellybluth , do you have the same feelings about games when they let the bench warmers play for a few minutes at the end when they have a strong lead? Or when one team lets the other get pity points?
only if it goes viral and if all of the "normal" players and fans get to pat themselves on the back for allowing the lessers to feel good about themselves for a minute.
I do think pity points are dumb. But so are sports, so...lol.
Obviously my kid isn't severely disabled so maybe it's different, but I don't want people to pity her. I never want people to let her do things out of pity. ( I differentiate this from kindness, btw. Like when a kid includes her in their game on the playground). Not so you can show to ESPN to prove how nice you are.
Inspiration from kids with SN should be recognizing their accomplishments or overcoming obstacles (either doing what is exceptional for THEM or exceptional in comparison to normal kids).

the cannibal hamster situation is just making my hair stand on end.
I had gerbils who would literally eat their whole litter. When I was in 5th grade I remember coming home and finding half of their bodies just laying around the cage.

In second grade,we had an apparently pregnant mouse as a class pet. We came in one morning and the mother mouse had given birth to the babies over night and eaten every thing but their heads. That was a good start to the day for a bunch of 8 year olds.
I should have kept reading. Sorry to bring the cannibal rodents up on another page.
I'm pretty sure my mom just threw the hamsters in the garbage when they died. No burials for us. She might've let the cannibal ones go into nature.
We woke up one morning and the hamsters were gone. She said they died and she gave them a funeral while we slept. I still don't believe her, I will bring it up every so often and she denies any wrongdoing.

My husband's childhood pet frog suffered a similar fate. He went to camp and when he came back "the frog had died."

Oh yeah, my hamsters would escape. It was always a creepy few days, waiting for a hamster to run on your feet while you ate dinner. Eventually they would turn up. Behind the couch. They were always behind the couch.

That happened with us and a rabbit. My mother had no qualms about making it live with my dad though. So we were very upset and almost never saw it.
