I went to visit a relative the other day, to drop off some outgrown clothes for her little girl. We were standing outside when the dad drove up with the kgn. age son. The boy was in the front seat and neither of them were buckled! I felt sick to my stomach.
She had just asked me in for some tea. I quickly said "Oh no, I have lots to do." and scurried away. I know, I'm a chicken and I wish I had said something.
But...I have gently said things to them in the past (about boosters at age 3 and 7 people (3 adults and 4 children) in a 6 passenger truck ) and sent videos and it made no difference so why would it now?
I still sneak in pictures of my 6 yr granddaughter still harnessed whenever I send family photos. (I wonder what they say to each other when they see them. )
And these darling kids were waited for for years and finally conceived by invitro. The parents are middle class, well off, mom is in the medical field .
I love the whole family. They are fun to be around at family gatherings.
But this casual attitude about car safety just puzzles me and makes me sad.
