ive just gotten dropped off by a friend(?) - we go meet up every wednesday night. she has a son (3 mths) and i told her previously when she was still pregnant about the whole rf carseat issue. she seemed interested in a way but then said she has got her sisters old car seat (ff)
anyway tonight i told her, in the car, that there is some new developments regarding rf car seats in teh eu (i live in england) and that anec are having a meeting in december to discuss future plans of phasing out ff seats.
then she just proceeds to cut me off with a very harsh "we're not interested". :jaw: i was so shocked i didnt know what to say and my heart was actually racing. i said that its just that some people ive talked to havent been aware about certain issues regarding safety with car seats and that i just feel like i want to let people know. she said harshly "we've got my sisters car seat anyway" i couldnt keep my mouth shut i guess but i cant just let it rest - i feel like that childs life is somehow in my hands aswell and would feel terrible if something happened - id feel like i didnt push the matter far enough. i then said just to make sure its not expired as they're not safe when they're older than 4 - 6 years depending on make.
she cahnged the subject completely without further comment.
im still shaking now and feel quite upset...... i jsut cant believe she said that and more the way she said it. ive had people say they're not interested before but never so rudely and abruptly - its like i was trying to get her to do something to her ds that would harm him.
dp just said let it rest but i feel really upset. im gonna talk to my sister tomorrow cos she's more her friend than mine.
how can people be so awful though, i feel like crying! :crying:
