ok, so a friend of mine has a daughter a few months younger than mine 4 1/2 or so.
both girls are going to be going to the same prek so i told her i'd watch her daughter in the morning and take her to prek with mine..and pick her up.
now i am WELL known for my analness about car seats.
her daughter is TINY, about 4 inches shorter than mine (granted, mine is very tall). my daughter is still in a 5 point harness, until her shoulders reach the top of the straps, there is NO reason what so ever to move her, it's very dangerous.
so anyway, she moved her daughter to a backless booster seat, she is not even tall enough for the manufacturers recommendations...now she isn't even heavy enough! WHY MOVE HER! seriously!
she is BITCHING about me making her get me a 5 point harness car seat for HER daughter...how many people would seriously complain about a another person wanting to make sure their child is safe!
keep in mind that her ex husbands mom has an extra one, so she doesn't even have to buy one! but even IF she had to buy one, she was saying "well, are you gonna buy it, cause i'm not, i don't have the money" so i said "they them on sale at walmart for $43, if she's in just a booster then i'm not gonna have her in my car" she comes back with " well i guess she's not going to prek!" WTF!?! really!?
she gets her nails done at least twice a month, she lives in a small house (with a small payment) with her boyfriend, so they both have a good income, not rich, but certainly can afford a $43 fuckin dollar car seat! lay off the nails for ONE MONTH and BOOM, there's the money!
so i sent her this email....
"
hey you
i know i know..but i'm gonna keep pestering you...if i didn't
care i wouldn't keep on youplease please watch,it's only 4
minutes

please just take a couple of minutes"
she doesn't want to watch it..she totally understands that it's not ok, to have
her daugther in the this booster, but for the sake of "convience" she won't put her in a
5 point harness.
GRRRRRRRRRRRRR i could scream right now!
am i being rediculous?? i mean really?
if i got into an accident and her daughter got hurt or killed on my watch cause
she was in a booster and not a carseat, i couldn't deal with that. at least if she
was in a carseat i know i did EVERYTHING i could to keep her safe.
