[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Plus I tried to connect with the mom who started this thread on emotional level, showing that I understand and share her feelings. I wanted to also show that I'm trying to make positive steps without putting a strain on my marriage or kids, but it didn't come through quite as I intended. Once thing I learned in US, that I have to be an advocate for my children safety and health. Health and environment are not the strongest points in our political system. It's also important to be a conscious consumer and ask manufacturers questions. The more of us will be doing it, the more clearly they will be getting the message, which will push them to be on our side when it comes to legislative process. He also traveled with us abroad already a couple of times. I do live a balanced life, but since I'm a stay at home mom at the moment, I don't see the reason why I shouldn't learn to be an advocate for my kids and the environment, since this topic is so interesting to me. Applause to all the moms who are already doing a great job on improving the environment for their kids. And I'll keep my fingers crossed that more and more moms will eventually join this inevitable wagon sooner than later.[/quote] I am the OP! thank you!! I am so glad to see there are people out there who care about consumer safety and the planet and care about their kids' health. I always wonder how baby consumer safety is handled in other countries. I feel like in Scandinavia and Europe there are tougher regulations, although I am not 100% sure. Esp Scandinavians have the utmost respect for the environment. I always vote for politicians who support consumer safety and environmental regulation. [/quote]
