Toddler on motorbike with BD

I wouldn’t allow myself on one, let alone my kids. Not overreacting at all. If he can’t keep little man safe, he will not be allowed to have him unsupervised. That’s what I would do.

On the road?! Absolutely not. If you had a farm or some land like a couple of acres and they’re just riding around for “fun” like they would on say, a tractor or a 4 wheeler then sure. Absolutely hell no on the road w other cars. He “doing it anyway” means he’s got no respect for your opinion. I mean, we’re saying no you’re saying no but he’s still doing it. 😬

Absolutely not.

I mean, if you and him are together and it’s also his son, it’s not just your choice, it’s his child too. Sounds like he’s also making sure he’s protected and safe on the bike. I grew up with a biker dad, with biker friends and that’s how most of their kids were raised and were fine. Your son and partner can just as easily be killed or hurt in a car or walking, even just riding a normal bike.

My husband has been wanting a bike and he knows my answer is no. He respects it. But if one day, I ever lean to being okay for him to get one. I’m not worried about him riding, it’s more so the people around him. If our kids ever want to ride with his father, they have the choice to and I trust my husband to protect them. I just know, this mama will always be ready to have a heart attack 😭 BUT, I’m sure there’s gonna be an age limit where they can start riding with their father (I will assume my husband will agree as we normally are on the same page about things). In my opinion, 3 year old seems to be a little too young to ride..

Is he wearing a full suit or just a helmet?

I would be reporting him to social services or the police. There is no safe way a toddler can ride on a motorbike.

Out of curiosity, what does the transit code say about it where you live?

The problem is that no matter how good a driver your BD may be, other road users will always be the issue. I witnessed an accident on Monday, guy on a motorbike taken clean out by a driver turning who didn’t check their mirrors. Even IF your BD was only travelling at 20mph, does he think death doesn’t happen at low speeds? Also does he think a helmet will prevent road rash injuries? It takes a special breed of idiot to know the dangers of something and willingly put their child at risk.

Thank you ladies for understanding ❤️ He makes me feel like I'm crazy. Unfortunately it's completely legal here so he argued with me to the bone about how he drove past cops and they didn't say a thing. What makes me even more upset is he just recently purchased a road safe helmet for himself and my son wears a damn bike kid helmet 😫 He definitely loves his son but I battle stupid decisions with him constantly and it's crazy that he thinks he's 100% rational. It turns into huge arguments all the time when he doesn't get his way

He's arguing "I use the bike lane" "I watch my surroundings " but these don't account for the other idiots driving.
