I enjoyed the Ami very much. The lunch break interview is a must read was very inspiring. In general, their articles are well researched and edited. Also the stories are structured more on inspiration and awareness, and not causing you to feel judgement or trying to make you think a certain way about issues, as I feel is the theme in other magazines.

The one story I couldn't actually handle was the story about the Mother-in-law who has access to the top doctors for her daughter's sick child, but the couple is being obstinate and ignores her advice and the offered appointment with the one doctor who might be able to save the baby's eye, instead going to some random doctor that the son-in-law's chavrusa recommended. Sorry, but if you're a MIL out there with a similar story, please speak up and insist on your child listening to you. Go over to your kid and say "I don't care if this destroys my relationship with you, you're making a huge mistake. It's your child's eye we're talking about, and I'm willing to ruin my relationship with you in order to save a little child"

I think the point was that she tried that, and they still insisted on going behind her back and doing it their way, so ultimately she had to come to grips with the fact that this was something she could not control - just like in a situation where there really is nothing to do.
But yes that one was very painful to read! Unless there were serious risks to the option that could save the eye, I wanted to cry for the fictitious baby losing her eye!

Exactly. And I guess the author's point was that specifically, about realizing not everything is in our control. Except in a non-fictional adaptation of that fictional story, I wish the MIL would've caused more of a ruckus.

Very painful story but also very unrealistic, I thought.
Its not ike the mother was a caterer or interior decorator, and they could refuse her services bwcause they didnt want her involved.
She is a medical liason! Her kids know that she deals with life and death issues. You dint play with kavod and boundaries when your kids life is at stake.

I am definitely a terrible person for thinking this even though its a fiction story but I wanted the daughter and son in law to "learn their lesson" the hard way and was actually disappointed that thing turned out ok for them
