Re: The cranky thread
Just called my mom, got a little more information. The baby had been kind of sick, so her parents had been taking turns holding her while she slept. My nephew fell asleep while holding her, and the suspicion is that she rolled over, buried her face in his chest, and suffocated in her sleep.
In more cranky ... well, my mother has not approved of my nephew and his girlfriend's lifestyle. They're rather gothy, with the eyeliner and painted nails and tattoos and piercings and the whole nine yards ... plus, they had a child out of wedlock. For the sake of not raising a fuss, I've kept my own opinion quiet even before all this (that being 'it's their life, they can look like they want'), but my mom said something today that made me think she's blaming the death of the baby on their 'inappropriate lifestyle'. This is probably going to get a lot uglier.
