Wow that's sick. I am too young to have children but from what I understand, there is a special maternal bond bewteen a mother and her baby from the second that it starts to grow inside her. That woman must seriously have some mental problem; no one in their right mind could say a thing like that! Shai's Mom was right: you can't replace a dog or a child, but I do beleive a mother should care for her children first, and dog second.
