20+ views to my seatbelt post and no responses? How would you all approach this? I want to maintain the friendship  and keep the boy safe in the car.

    114 views of the recently released criminal in my house and not one response...  I think the clicker is broken or everyone fun is out having girls night.

    The drug addict post? I'd feel pretty uncomfortable with that!

    Me too, but anyone who works on your house has that potential.  I just wish the guy had not told me.  He has a beautiful 9 year old daughter too and was well spoken.  I am sure that the other crew (different company) had a lot of illegals, but I hire the company, no way to know for sure.  Not one of the 8 guys on that crew spoke a word of English.   I am looking forward to my next project which is being done by a guy whose other job is a popular band, he is both legal and not fresh out of jail.

    Here you both go....

    I'd stay out of the carseat issue.  In your car? sure, let him know the rules.  Her car = her rules.  You've posted before about this, right?  I think you need to let it go.

    JB - once the work is done, I'd call the employer and let him know.  He (the meth head or whatever drug it was) needs to know that it is not professional to say things to customers. And bossman/lady needs to know what his employees are saying that could affect business.

    Yay, last summer when I first realized what was going on I posted. I just don't get her thinking. Going to let it go.

    The owner of the business is his cousin.  He drops them off in the AM and picks them up at night.  I don't want to make trouble for the guy.  I really do believe that people need a second chance, and I do have this problem of people telling me stuff, it really happens all the time, just more minor stuff with the people I meet as a SAHM.  I guess it is just my nature.  I don't think he would tell just anyone and he is very personable.  Oddly, I am reading a book on IQ and personal traits that said that successful criminals are often very personable and have high self esteem compared to IQ.  This guy could fit that profile Stick out tongue

    Now, if my house gets broken into next week...

    She's probably just totally oblivious.  

    When my nephew was born (mom was 15, dad was 19), my MIL brought the baby to church one day with him in the infant carrier, which was snapped into the base - but the base wasn't secured to the seat! D'oh!   I asked her if she realized that and her reply was "Oh, I know.  I didn't know how to buckle it in, so I just drove carefully."   I said, "Oh, ok, so if someone hit you, he'd just going flying out the window, but at least the base would be attached!"  She chuckled, then I belted the base in.  She was clueless - as I bet your neighbor is.

    If anything, maybe just say something like, "I know this is really none of my business, but I worry about little Tommy.  For his age and size, he really should be using a high-back booster and he should definitely always use the shoulder belt.  It's extremely dangerous for him to have the belt behind his back."  And if she blows you off...at least you tried.  and rather bluntly.
