@sadie.w, lol thank you! I do know for the most part even on GIRL #6 she shows me stuff I never had to deal with before lol. Her knicknames Pipey, Pipes, Pipper, and Larry (Long story haha) I woke up in the middle of the night from a stupid odd dream about that old show Charmed when I was pregnant and Piper it was. The only name all the kids and us agreed on.
@klazaro, Im sorry you havent seen them it could be something as simple as dinner a car seat or even a toy. If its running off new moms its out of control. Ten people telling one person the exact same thing after the person has acknowledged the first 10 posts is out of control. Sometimes moms dont even know they have done wrong and 5 people hammer her in the comments before she can process what was wrong in her picture. Ive seen more tomes than I can count a mom say omg I had no idea ill start this that and the other thank you and 5 more comments come in. Then this poor mom feels like she has failed and is now embarrassed and deleted their post or leaves the app all together. If the goal is to support and inform... what is accomplished by not taking into consideration the person on the receiving ends feelings? Because the post they just got ran off the app for was about food... tomorrow would have been the picture of the playroom with the choking hazards. I dont agree that every safety tip is started and ended as considerate as you say. We dont have to agree though and I do appreciate your take on the situation.
@luvmyboogie, i dont feel attacked at all. I know other moms do over simple pictures instead of asking questions and guiding, some real momsters have been running off nervous self conscious moms lately. I am a very seasoned mom and I learn more everyday but I am confident in my decisions I make for my children. I definitely dont know it all or claim to ever. In my own way this is a small protest to those know it alls who jump to conclusions and assumptions. I chose to post the actual story in a comment because some moms get so hyped up over what they perceive in a picture they dont read the comments. They are more worried about looking good to themselves for being so educated to explain a wrong they dont bother to read. I just want to bring some light to some who may need it and provoke some thought for those who have been a bit out of control lately. This has always been a great place and I never get mad over a comment or suggestion.
Sorry that you feel that way nobody is attacking you. If anybody is commenting about the straps or anything it’s because is as mothers we are concerned about any kids. On your caption you should of put don’t worry I fix her straps after I took this picture!
Immediately moms have repeatedly been attacked lately over simple pictures without explanation I wanted to show a cute picture of my Pipey passed out wore out from the beach yesterday. Figured if they were gonna come hang out might as well post a hashtag :) it was meant to be funny. Sorry if it bothered you. Not meant for the informational mommies who actually give good input. Just the ones who go overboard and troll around. Thats why I commented what was going on in the picture so everyone would know my 2 year old doesnt actually ride with half straps forward facing. I locked her in so she wouldnt bounce around the car while I was situating everything and she passed out.
I think she has either outgrown that car seat or you need to adjust the top. Rearfacing (which she should still be as it’s safer) the straps need to come from below or at the shoulders, forward facing they go at or above. At under 2, I don’t think he head should be above the car seat.
