[QUOTE="dreamer, post: 23197, member: 1697"] DDD, yeah my kids argued with helmets for biking, skateing, skateboarding etc. I took all the bikes etc away and said well fine. too bad. One day I came home from work to see one of my kids on someone elses- no helmet- and I grounded them for quite a long time. At the time I was working in a nursing home with a teen in a perm veg state due to a closed head injury. One time we were on a trip on the interstate and one of my kids began to shreik, MOM MOM< so & so is unbuckled, MOM STOP the car! LOL- yup. my kids really freaked out bad. I was so strict about car seats and seat belts. and front seat riding. I know when I learned to drive people did not put kids in car seats, and yes we all survived, but....if the precatution is there, I will use it and if the law is there, I will honor it. My car insurance company told me they would NOT pay out if seat belts were not worn.........yikes, those medical bills could be a big problem if insurance did not pay, and so could car repair bills. Alas, all my precautions did not save my goofy sons eye.........things do still happen. ' and even when we do all the things we are supposed to, sometimes things happen. I had my vaccinations and wound up quite sick and handicapped for quite a long time. BUT I still say- use the precautions available. At least then you know you did what you could. This morning on way to take easy child to school, news said 2 kids here smoked some marijuana laced with something- I said to her, SEE SEE! when you take a risk, sometimes it is a bigger risk than you think it will be. I bet when they smoked that weed, they assumed the biggest risk at the moment was gettingt busted..... and there they are now in a hospital. Ah nuts, we do what we can, do our best. SOmetimes it works out right, and sometimes................not. Yeah, I am very aware how lucky I was my kids stayed put in car seats and seat belts, and wore their helmets for biking etc. ANd then from behind here came my son loseing his gosh darn eye, -----yeesh......not 2 years before I permanantly grounded him from a friends house when I found out the friend had a BB gun they were horsing around with with no adults present and I said ACK do you want to lose an eye????????????/ the mom thought I was silly to be so concerned, how many kids lose an eye? and then mine DID, playing not with a BB gun but in a driveway with friends and rocks. Yeesh. We can try to protect them from everything, but we just cannot be everywhere all the ti me and save them from everything. But, LOL, I sure do try! OK sorry for rambling. The events countrywide of the last 24 hours are hitting me rather hard. Making me a little melodramatic and melancholy. [/QUOTE]
