    Kids are conceptually much simpler than houseplants though. You just do exactly the same thing you do to take care of yourself, but at different scales, plus some entertainment. They also let you know when they need something.

    Meanwhile, plants: “I guess I’ll just die”

      Should just come to my house. I think I purchased a magic house because every plant that I have in this house thrives. Doesn’t matter if I water them or not. I’m pretty sure I could probably grow them in pitch black cupboard.

      This. Kids and pets will let you know when they’re hungry or thirsty. Plants just slowly wither in the corner without making a fuss.

      The only plants of mine that ever survived are very drought tolerant, but my cat is the spoiledest little princess and I love her for it. She gets two breakfasts and two dinners, and treats every day, and she won’t let me forget whenever it’s time for any of them!
