My youngest is sick, so I took the girls to my MILs today. My BIL drops his tiny 6 year old off there every morning and my MIL takes him to the bus stop. He pulled up at the same time I did this morning and my nephew jumps out of the front seat of his quad cab pick up, wasn't even wearing a seat belt. Yes, he heard an earful from me at 6:30am.
I just don't get it. He KNOWS better. I am constantly preaching to him, but he just doesn't get it. He's one of those "I never rode in a car seat and it's only a 5 minites drive" people. I have showed him videos, given him information. Nothing gets through to him. Timmy is 6 years old and weighs 42 pounds. I would be happy to see him a BPB (in the BACK seat) at this point. I told him he could get pulled over for having him in the front seat and his response was "it's still dark out - no cop would even see him". He's right. The kid is so small you can barely see him sitting up front in that big truck.
I hate to give up on him, but it's obvious that it's never going to change. It's so discouraging.
