Hi guys! Back again with an issue. I recently started a carpool with the next door neighbors because my daughters school bus was in another accident(2 in less than a year). Well, the neighbors just moved here (NC) from California where I guess the car seat laws are different. It is the law here that you have to be 8 or 80 pounds here before you can just use a seatbelt. Well, the kid told me he was 8, but I just found out by his mother that he won't officially be 8 until the end of February. He is probably 10 pounds shy of the weight minimum, too. She knows the law now because I send my daughters booster everyday and she asked why she was still in one. She just made a face and did not say anything else. That was more than a week ago and she still hasn't put her son in a booster and I don't think she plans on it. But, I told him he will have to use one while riding in my car from now on, and he argued with me about it all the way home. I know I am going to have to take this up with his mother since he is outright refusing, but I don't want them to get upset with me and quit the carpool since I really need their help right now. Plus, they live right next to me so I don't wanan fight with. How should I approach this without coming off like a judgemental b**ch?
BTW- the father asked if there was a helmet law for bicycle riders because he noticed all the neighborhood kids wearing them. At the time, I didn't know if it was law, but I just found out it is while doing research so I would like to mention that, too. But again, don't want to seem like a judgemental know it all.
Thanks!
