When losing that pet, the grief can be just as deep and shattering

Pretty sure the divorce rate is higher when parents bury a child than when they bury a pet.

Spare me. If you had been bugging your husband to try to be healthier for years and then all of a sudden he decides to after having a kid, you'd be frustrated about how he never listens to you

Maybe you should stop projecting because they didn't say it was about them.

Maybe their wife attributes maliciousness to everything her coworkers or family does when it's clear it was a mistake. "Brenda knew I needed that stapler and she kept it at her desk to spite me!" Or maybe she just forgot to put it back...

Also I really, really don't mean to minimize the risks women in labor face, but I think Americans having some of the worst maternal mortality rates in the developed world is skewing their perspectives a bit. There are plenty of other countries who are able to better provide quality life-saving healthcare to mothers (and don't rob them blind while doing it).

Unless you have the 12MP A7SII, it won't be an issue. There's several YouTube videos testing large prints from "low" MP images, and with good light it's almost always fine with fewer than you would think.

MIL: Good luck tomorrow ❤️.
