As a Mother, while I was pregnant with each of my three kids, I nourished my body, ate right, avoided certain foods, did not drink, got plenty of rest...did everything humanly possible to protect my unborn child. And now, as they enter the world and make their own paths, I will continuously look after them, whether they like it or not. Helping when they need it, suggesting this or that and always trying to protect them. Thats what you do as a parent....if you don't, you shouldn't be a parent(that's my opinion).
Yesterday my husband was in an accident, he wasn't injured, he was in his work truck. And as you know, trucks seldom get damaged when in an accident. The driver of the SUV, did a roll stop and kept turning...right into the lane with my husband coming down....he smacked right into the SUV, sending it down a bit and up over the curb. He was upset with the driver. What made him more upset and angry and also upset me was what happened next.
When the driver opened the door, a kid fell out. None of the kids were fastened properly. I cannot understand how a parent/caregiver can drive a vehicle with kids not fastened in properly....what if this accident was MORE serious....what if my husband was going faster, sending the SUV flying....a child could have gone flying out the window. I see this from time to time, sitting at a red light and the car ahead of me has kids bouncing up and down...all carefree. I just don't understand the logic of those parents/caregivers!? I imagine during these events, that I could get out, pretend to be a undercover officer and give them a stern warning. BUT what can we really do if we see this??? ANY suggestions!?
With my Husband.....he told the officer this, but since this parent/caregiver fixed the problem before the police came, they cant do anything. It would have been his word against theirs. Not fair in my mind. The driver was charge. AND hopefully they will realize that they were lucky, this time....next time they might not be as lucky!!
PLEASE PEOPLE...BUCKLE UP YOUR CHILDREN!! They are precious!!!
