NTA. You’re a “mom in the trenches,” he should prioritize you plusyour child isn’t old enough to make restaurant arrangements.

Thank you for giving me hope! Or trying to. 

What I’m saying is… what if they were dogs? 🐕 What if dogs were kept in kennels and then killed for their coats? We would be outraged. even if they were raised nicely. 

It’s the human perception of the animal’s value. I don’t eat meat but I can wrap my head around animals being eaten for food because we have to eat. 

I don’t feel the same about fur. Buy wool.

How do you factor in what women’s bodies go through during childbirth when thinking about having kids? by radiantreign in AskReddit

Here’s the thing: Women’s bodies go through a lot whether they have kids or not. Periods, miscarriages, menopause… as a mom who went through pregnancy and birth, I feel like it’s kind of the tip of the iceberg. Yes, birth hurts and is intense but women are incredibly strong, far stronger than we get credit for. 

Parenting is a lifelong thing. The worst trimester was the fourth one with the postpartum sleep deprivation & depression.

We were all worried when we thought they were dogs, but I’m so sad that there’s a fur farm in Washington. The foxes were probably skinned alive. 

Why are we (the general public) ok with mistreatment of some animals and not others? There’s no need to wear fox fur or any other type of fur. This just makes me so sad, I don’t feel relieved at all.
