Did I miss something? (Randoms?)

[asundevil80]

Today, I was driving during my lunch break to grab some food and a family two cars over from me was driving down a very busy road (during lunch hour traffic) with a baby who was maybe 4-5 months old who was NOT in a car seat. The mom was sitting in the backseat holding the baby and bouncing her all around on her lap with the window next to her rolled down.

WWYD? I really wanted to do something (do you call the police?) but there was a lot of traffic and I was kind of in shock and I lost sight of their car. And now I feel guilty thinking I should have tried to do something. I almost yelled out my own car window, but that may have been ridiculous.

I would say call police. It's against the law and completely unsafe.

There is no food that is off limits for DS. We try to limit junk food to special occasions, but he is allowed to eat all human food.

So are you saying I shouldn't let DS nibble on the dog's treats?

J/K don't get up in arms anyone!

Maybe this should be a FFFC but DS is always putting the dog treats in his mouth, I used to fight him but then I read the ingredients and I was like whatever.

Wait, those read like teething biscuit ingredients, except with eggs instead of some sort of alternative binder like guar gum or something.

DD is in a "no dada, only mama" phase right now. I assume it's normal (?), but it makes me feel bad that she's being mean to him!

A is doing the exact same thing. He wants nothing to do with H. If he holds his hands out, A will start screaming and run/ cling to me. Poor H looked like he was about to cry the other night.

Hopefully they'll be over it soon!

I had a similar experience the other day- I was driving behind a pickup that had a car seat crammed sideways behind the front passenger seat. There was a little girl about the age of our A14ers (it appeared) in there. Wtaf is wrong with people? I mean, putting the car seat in the front is obviously not what you really want but how is it not better than just cramming it in the tiny back space sideways??? I really wanted to take a picture and then contact the police but couldn't get to my phone safely.
