I think I just started a HUGE fight....
...with my ILs.
And to be honest I don't give a damn either. Made a nice little FB comment and MIL commented on it, then SIL "called me out" (not saying my name though) saying what I said was completely wrong and it's opinions like mine why the world is fvcked up.
This is going to be a great week.
Re: I think I just started a HUGE fight....
I saw that on your facebook and wondered it that was your MIL. Don't stress about; people think they know everything that was said and everything that went on just because they followed the case from the beginning. They don't. I can say, from an attorney's point of view, that I'm not surprised at all that they came back with a not guilty. People get too caught up in the emotion of what happened and not how you go about actually trying a case...emotions don't count, only facts and/or lack of facts.
ETA: was just reading over your MIL comments again and I had to laugh at the showing emotion over these things so the laws can get changed...I don't think they found her not guilty because people weren't sad enough. Being sad won't stop people from harming their children
Congrats to both my TTC buddies, Amberley18 and sb2006 on their beautiful babies!

I understand her whole POV about it, and MIL's second comment was actually a little less condescending (she's getting better at the whole debate without blaming the opinion thing when it comes to things that don't directly involve her), and I agree with her that when you stop letting things like that get to you, it's a bad state, but like I came back with: when the media covers it 24/7 with the same damn stuff over and over, it desensitizes people.
And TBH, I haven't followed it at all, and all I know about it was a small snippet of stuff from when the daughter went missing, and from FB statuses. So I can't even make an "informed" opinion on it other than "I don't care." *shrug*
It's probably another jab of her trying to get me to have kids.
And it does kind of sting to imply that simply because I haven't shot a baby out of my vagina that I can't comprehend the killing of a child.
My Acme Box last update 3/28/11
GREAT NEWS!!!! I texted Danny & told him I may have inadvertently started a FB fight with SIL and of course, he got a call from MIL right afterward asking if he had seen FB.
He learned very well from the whole MIL-lie incident and when he got home told me to pull up FB and show him what the hell went on. So, I showed him and he got just as pissed off as I was at SIL. So now, he posted a huge 900 character status--hoping to passive-aggressively piss off his sister--and is armed to the teeth to defend me and my opinion.
Sometimes I just love him more than words can tell.
Big 
for my husband. 
I saw your comment on FB and the responses. You are entitled to your opinion.
Yeah, maybe she didn't want a child, maybe she was an unfit mother, but bottom line; there was no proof saying that she actually murdered her child. I can understand why the verdict came out the way it did.
It was actually refreshing to see a different POV after reading about 100 comments of the same thing. Stick up for what you believe, Mallory, even if it is an unpopular opinion.
Have you guys seen what went on between me and SIL?? THAT'S the biggie. MIL & I are getting better at saying what we believe without it escalating, but SIL pretty much posted a passive aggressive status calling me out and saying "God help me" because I don't care about the murder of an innocent child.
And it turned into a full blown FB fiasco.
