So I had an interview today with a lady(28) looking for daycare for her 3 yr old son.
She happened to mention something about a carseat,so I informed her that I know a lot about seats and stuff if she needed help.So we get into a small talk about saftey and seats and I said,yes my kids are both rf(which tristan was ff because his radian was too big rf,but the fpsvd installs like a dream rf),and that I was hoping to make it to 3 with my son rf.She got this horrible look on her face and said "I don't recommend that",there isn't a lot of room for their legs at all and the carseat has no where to go in a crash",yeap that is what she said,lol.So I said,well I chat on a board with some techs and very informed parents and I have learned a lot,and I know it is safest for children to RF to the limit on the carseat,and that most children sit cross-legged and love it,I went on to tell her about the spine and all that good stuff and well she just kept making a face like um "you know nothing".
Then if you believe this she said well,all I know is children should be ff so they can see the dvd player!!I almost laughed out loud,but I had to hold composure.Then I went on to tell her that I am searching for a class to become a certified tech,she told me Why?I said to help parents learn more about the saftey of thier children in cars and hel save lives.She said oh don't waste your time the fire station does that.I explained that some firemen are not certified that do that,and she said oh yes they are,in a omg you are dumb kind of tone.Needless to say i kept my mouth shut and finished the interview and got the job.
But I wish I would of stood my ground more.That was just my first appraoch to someone I didn't know and it didn't go like I thought it would
It seems everytime I have a coversation with anybody and I know I am right,they treat me like because I am 18 I know nothing... It makes me just want to scream,just because I am young,I am not dumb.Like the other day i got in a arugement with a lady at wic about soy milk having hormones,and that is why my dd is not on it.She explained to me that I was wrong and should do research about things before I say things.Sry for this post I was just shocked at the baby-sitting lady and at the way people treat me.
