Is it normal to have no pets in the family as a child?

When I was younger, during my childhood, my family didn't keep any pets. Well we did have a few goldfish now and then, but fish are hardly 'real' pets that you can interact with are they?

Just curious to see how many others didn't have cats/dogs/whatever as pets growing up.

    I Had Hamsters, Mouse, Parakeets, Zebra Finch Birds, Fish, Lizard, Iguana, Hermit Crabs.........But My Dad Never Let Me Have A Dog Or Cat.
    Today I Have One Teeny 6 Pound Dog That My Whole Family Loves And My Cat Which My Dad Despises. He Hates Animals.

    We've always had cats and dogs, but did you know that there are fish capable of being as much a part of the family as a pet cat? or maybe at least a lizard or a mouse? I've got axolotl's and they are my babies :)

    The majority of families in the US don't have pets.
