[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kids RF til 4 and didn’t sit in a backless booster til age 8. So I think most would say I’m pretty strict about car seat safety. But I don’t feel the need to defend/justify my choice or preach about it to others. I don’t discuss it w people unless they ask. And my dad and FIL would not even know and have never asked. I have to think you’re the type to be preachy about your decisions, especially parenting decisions for your people to react by groaning and giving you a hard time.

How does this even come up in conversation? You said it doesn’t bother your kids so I doubt they talk about it. [/quote]

I don’t preach about it.  [b]I’m not sure where it was implied that I did? [/b]

How did the topic come up?  Well, when my we visit my in-laws or parents or when they my kids will be in their vehicle.  They both live close by and sometimes they have my children in their care and yes, in their car.  My stepmother and MIL seem to have zero issues and will happily let me install our extra seats in their car but everyone my dad will make a comment and it just gets old. [/quote]

It’s implied in the fact your dad complains and groans about it. Who does that unless they’re sick of hearing you preach about it? Maybe your dad is just a PITA. That seems likely. [/quote]
