@Lauren thank you🤎 I’ve literally been trying to find someway to spin it where “I’m wrong” or “overreacting” and I’ve offered more than enough help and chances ..
You've done everything you can and more. It's on your ex now. I wouldn't let them take my daughter to be so careless about something like this. He doesn't have a leg stand on!
I definitely wouldn't allow that either. Please paper yourself in case he disputes it in court. Like, send a text confirming that you showed up for access as scheduled but you weren't comfortable with him taking her because of the carseat issue. Then it's much harder for him to claim later that that's not what happened. Put that you offered alternatives but he refused, so it's clear you did your best to accommodate.
Noooooope! Nope, nope, nope! He is being extremely careless and stupid with his child's safety! You need to report him and do exactly what you know you need to do. Honestly, if he is this lazy and careless about it, I'm kind of afraid that even if he is eventually forced to get a seat, he will just continue not using it anyway. If he does that, do anything to document proof and use it against him. If he continues to be this way, she should never be allowed in a vehicle with him!
In the UK we are being told to leave children rear facing as long as possible. I won't be front facing for as long as I can get away with it. I would rather keep my child safe. Rear facing minimises the impact of a car crash versus forward facing.
@Sachiko yep, it’s at the Police Department so there’s cameras! And I make sure to get a incident number from the police so I can document it legally💯🙏🏽
@Katie exactly! Every parent knows that those videos that they show you about what could happen are terrifying! I already had a feeling that he didn’t really wanna be a part of her life. He’s just doing because his partner and her family are making him. But the things I keep saying, just make me wish you would just quit. I hate that for my daughter, but honestly even her pediatrician is convinced he’ll eventually walk away and never come back because he doesn’t care..
I don't know how anyone could find it acceptable to ignore safety laws for children. Stand your ground. God forbid if he took her one day, forward facing and was in an accident. I would never be able to forgive myself.
