Can I vent a minute?
My brothers wife asked me to babysit the other day. Their baby is the same age as Ava(1 year) And about the same size(19lbs, 28ins).

Well she had her in a Discovery 3 point And the baby’s head is right at the top. Like her hair sticks over the edge.

They have 5 kids and nether of them are working right now so money is very tight.
So I offer my Scenera(It’s a back up seat) She acts all happy and even has me put in her car.

Well today I see her out and the baby is back in the infant seat and the Scenera is nowhere in sight:(.

Then my sister came by and said "SIL tried to give me a carseat" so I asked what kind and she said a Scenera.


I don’t get it. Why take the seat if she’s not going to use it? and then try to give it to my sister?

If I’d known she wasn’t going to use it I wouldn’t have offered it to her.
Now I'm mad and I can't do anything about it, They'll get mad and call our mom if I ask about it. So I have to let it go.

I feel better getting that out.

Very annoying... I'd let her know your sister let you know that she didn't want it, and that you'd like it back if she's not using it.

Is that a big deal?
Can you ask your sister to tell them you want the seat back because she "accidentally" brought up in conversation they tried to give it to her. SIL never should have accepted it if she wasn't going to use it. She is the one being rude. Seriously, you should just ask for it back.

Oh it would be a big deal if I asked for it back or even asked why their not using it. If Billy told mom it would turn into a big fight.

But I don't really want the seat back. I just wish she wouldn't have taken it if she weren't going to use it. I would feel the same way if this were a crib or stroller. And I don't get why she wanted to give it to my sister:confused:.


I might ask my sister to ask for it.



Thanks for letting me vent.

Families can be so tricky sometimes. Still though. Well maybe they WILL use it. They have to realize the kid has outgrown the bucket at some point, right?
