I haven't seen S and J since Sunday for more than 20 minutes. They've been shipped around from place to place. And they go from one sitter to another with no intervention from us
Which means I have ZERO control over their seats.
So my craptastic CPS this week? J rode FFing and S is in a booster.
J was at my MILs and I asked DH to leave his seat but his mom said she wouldn't take him anywhere so she didn't need one. So he didn't leave one. Well then my SIL offered to take him (both live 1hr10m from us, and 3 miles from eachother) as he was too much for my MIL. I knew none of this. DH told me later that SIL's DH picked up J and brought him to their house and installed a seat my MIL had for him. Except my MIL only has expired Generation 40s that have been in her freezing cold garage for 2 years. Excellent. I tried not to think about it and thankfully I didn't know until it was over.
Tomorrow they are going to a friends and someone from church is picking up S from there to entertain her for the day and take her to lunch duty at E's school. All I have is the frontier. I knew that chances are she isn't going to install it right. So I'm leaving a booster. S's booster training consisted of putting her in one this morning on the 10 minute drive to the sitter and threatening swift punishment if she moved. She did fine. Thankfully she is at least 4 (umm last week)
I don't even have time to worry which is the saddest part. I left his seat with the sitter today with a little sign that says "Please face me backwards. I don't work forwards" LOL.
So that's that.
Anyone else have to do this during emergencies and feel like mother of the year?
