Well, first off, let me just say that I love my DH, and he really is a great guy and a great dad. That being said, he's pig-headed. Very, very stubborn (bad when you gt us against each other )
He refuses to wear a seat-belt. Ever. We were watching the news tonight, and there was a story about stricter belt laws nationwide, to which I gave a :thumbsup: and he had a living fit . I paused for a minute (to lt him have his hissy fit), and then I said something to the effect that, "I don't care what you do, but when you're in the car with DD, I want you to wear your seat-belt so that you are a good influence." He flat refused, and said that he would explain to DD not to follow Daddy's example Uh huh, yeah. I answered that I don't want DD to think it's OK not to wear a seat belt, to which he answered that it would be an option for her too (direct quote here, ya'll. It happened about 10 minutes ago)
I really have no idea what to do. Honestly, I've tried to get him to wear a seatbelt for YEARS, to no avail. I have no idea what, besides a crash (God forbid) would make him change his mind, I really thought having DD would.
He also thinks me getting my CPS certification (less than 2 weeks!!!) is stupid . The only way I 'made' it OK is that I said it would be my Mother's Day present.
What, oh what, do I do???
