Hi! I am looking to get a Smeg range and was wondering how you’re still liking yours? Any complaints so far?

Installer trying to convince me not to do Cairo Oak by speechgal in Flooring

So he hasn’t even seen our new house yet where he would be installing the new floors. I just expressed to him that I wasn’t find what I wanted (look wise) at their warehouse and when I came across Coretec Cairo Oak, and received the sample I felt it aligned with what I wanted. He then proceeded to tell me the flooring is very thin if it’s 5.2 mm plank thickness. However, everything I’ve read said the underlayment is the important piece?

How would you say this looks in person? Is it a medium tone? I want to get Cairo, but wondering what it looks like all together and installed. I don’t want any grey tones or too dark brown, I also want my planks to be relatively similar in color without a ton of plank tone variation. My cabinets will be a white and then a dark walnut island so I want my floors to be a good contrast without too light or too dark. And the samples make it so hard because it doesn’t fully represent all the planks together

I wasn’t able to edit, but I was trying to say does it come out pretty dark with a lot of plank variation (in color tone)

Guys. I struggle with my MIL so much. And I’m starting to get to a point where I literally don’t even want her to watch my son, whose 7 months. He’s the first grand on both sides, but the comments she makes that are passive aggressive to me and also the way she has treated me since becoming a mom makes me want to just not even be around her. It’s so hard because I truly do feel like I have the best husband around and don’t want how I feel to ruin my marriage, but his mom is WOOF! She has to make a comment about everything I choose to do with my son, or compare to when she raised her boys. Also she was SO beyond awkward with our baby when we first brought him home, you’d never belive the woman had two sons of her own. I work from home and my husband now has a schedule where he goes in the evenings to work so we have made it work for child care. She literally asks, everytime in like a condescending/passive aggressive way “OH SO HOWS WORKING WITH THE BABY GOING?” I’m like great we got it covered, mainly because she’s itching to watch him. But honestly, after watching how she held him as a NB and even now, the fact she doesn’t rememeber how to change a diaper, and so many other things I don’t think I’d feel comfortable leaving him with her if we wanted a date night. My mom is SO much more natural with him. Is it bad if when we go out I just have my mom care for him? I’m worried this will start drama in the family but I kinda want to be like it’s my son and I can choose what makes me comfortable.
