Please help. My best friend and I had our little ones just three months apart. Her daughter turned one in April and she sent me this photo with the caption "big girl exhausted from a fun day". My jaw dropped when I saw this. We are both first-time moms, however I researched car seat safety before my son was born and decided to Extended rear face him until past the age of 2. In California, starting January 2017, the law will require toddlers under the age of 2 to be rear-facing. However it's not the law yet. Should I say something? I know car seat safety is a serious issue but how do I talk to her about it? Help!
My best friend and I are very honest with each other. We don't care if it hurts the others feelings. Whoever is upset will eventually get over it, but that's how my best friend and I are. She would never post a status on Facebook being vague about who she's taking a stab at.
Tell her.
Just a simple, I love you but....should work. Good luck.
Thank you so much ladies for all the help. I will be deleting this soon because this is not a photo of my child.
Every few months I post info about carseat safety. I have several first time mom friends ( and most find it helpful). I posted my usual carseat safety post the DAY before she sent me this. The next day she posted all over her fb about "know it all moms, you look perfect on Facebook, but we know you in real life". Maybe I'm feeling defensive, but it felt like she was directing it towards me. But I know if I don't say something and something horrible happens to this sweet little girl I will never forgive myself.
"Oh my gosh, so cute she must have had a fun day! I'm not sure if you already know or not but I recently found out that the clip is safest placed up by baby's chest and I read an article that talked about the benefits of rear facing longer, if you're interested I can find it to send to you. I hope you're having a great day and maybe we can meet up soon!"
