How do you guys deal with someone who will not listen and is a jerk about it? My sister's boyfriend is a fire fighter and feels that my nephew, 9 years old and between 65 and 70 pounds, 4'9" does not need a booster. My sister and nephew both realize he does need one and also that it needs to be a HBB in bf's chevy truck. He had been a real jerk about it, in front of my nephew. Yesterday when I asked what side of the truck he would prefer the seat to be on he said, "Honestly, I don't want it in there at all, I'm a fire fighter and he doesn't need it" To which I responded, Yes, he does. Then I mentioned that I am planning on taking the tech course and in 6 weeks we could have a really interesting conversation about it. He said, "So for the next 6 weeks you don't know anything and he doesn't need to be in there" I told him he does and walked inside. Nephew was buckled into seat when they left, I watched him do it. I was so annoyed, especially since my nephew is hearing this and since he's already the only kid his age ( other than my 10 year old niece) still in a seat. I showed him on the weekend why he doesn't fit without a booster, but I think the more he hears bf go on about it to me, the less willing he will be to sit in it. He does technically pass the laws here, but the belt fit is not right.
Whew. Thanks for reading. I'm pretty annoyed about this. Just wondering how you guys would deal with this? I told bf I had some videos he could watch and he claims he doesn't need to see them because he "knows" nephew doesn't need a seat.
