And I knew you would all understand. Now, let me start off by saying, I love this person dearly, and I know she loves her kids...but O.M.G. I am so unbelievably upset with her at the moment.
OK, my daycare family (and one of my bf) was getting ready to leave. Her dd forgot her pumpkin, so I ran out to the car to give it to her. I went to her dd's window so she could carry it (it's small, and trust me...there are a LOT worse things in this car then a pumpkin!) and mom rolled HER window down. I said no, I want her to have it. So she reluctantly rolls her window down...and then I see WHY. BABY W who is 21mo old is sitting next to his 7yr old sister instead of IN the built in carseat, both unbuckled (they were getting ready to pull out). I was like %*&^*^(%$!!!!!!!! She says 'I don't want to fight with him'. Again (&*(^*%&%**$!!!!! So I go around, and put his butt into the seat and buckle him in, at which time I noticed that NONE of her 4 children were buckled in. They know me, and how I am, so the kids start buckling up. But then I noticed that the 4yr old was in her booster, in her winter coat, with it unbuckled. So around to the other side, take off her coat and buckled her in. And yes, I chewed mom out!!!! She loves me, so I can get away with talking to one of my daycare parents like that...but I'm still pissed off. She tried the 'it's only a few miles to home, it's not like I'm going far' excuse. UH HUH, what ever. I told her about the accidents closest to home, etc. But I'm FURIOUS. After everything I do to protect these kids when I have them, and their parents don't give a flying rats ARSE about vehicle safety. Do what ever the HECK you want with yourself, but OMG, how hard is it to buckle your kids in??????????
