> Is this any different from people today calling their dogs and cats “my baby”? Transporting four legged animals in baby carriages, is that psychosis?

It's not psychosis, but it's also not healthy to blur the line between a pet and a child, but at least a pet is a living thing that can know you and have a relationship with you.

But if someone's calling their laptop their baby and carrying it around in a baby carriage, I'd be comfortable calling that psychosis.
