AITA for letting social services take my kids so I could adopt a puppy?

Ok, I know the title sounds bad, but hear me out. My husband (adult, M) and I (young adult, F) had three children together, twin girls (toddlers) and a boy (teen).

I never wanted kids, but one of my husband's wishes was to have children; he's very family oriented, so after a lot of pleading from him I finally gave in. I hate the kids, all they do is cry and complain all day. I wish they'd grow up faster but I don't want them to miss out on the formative years of their lives and turn out evil or something, so I've been trying to remain patient.

Anyway, along with the kids my husband and I have three dogs, and I vastly prefer my dogs over my kids. As I'm sure you all know, there's a hard city limit of 8 household members, but the animal shelter had a really cute puppy that I just couldn't live without. So in a moment of weakness, I decided to trap my husband in the basement and let the kids go hungry for a few days until social services came and took them so I could adopt the puppy. My husband pissed his pants a few times and he's sad that the kids are gone, but I'm sure he'll be fine in a few days, especially once he becomes BFFs with the puppy. So, AITA?
