What? Really?
Extreme Weight Loss is good though...
Definitely get donuts from the Donut Friar. It's in some little village area of town and you have to go pretty early in the morning but the last time I was there it was worth the early wake up.

That's my theory. I don't drive like and asshole and I pay attention. It's also why I kind of think the baby on board tags are silly. Oh I WAS going to rear end you, but now that I know you have a cutesy bootsy baby wabey on board now I won't. Thanks for letting me know!
I do however think we should have some type of "I have a sleeping or screaming baby that needs to keep the car moving" bat signal.
Really? Because with the size of car seats these days you'd think that would be a way bigger indicator to check for a kid than a yellow piece of plastic.
@cl8badb I did figure they were kind of good for giving people a pass if they are driving extra slow and cautious. Maybe. Kind of. But I usually drive the same safe speed no matter who is in the car.

like @musicalsilver advertising what is in the car makes me really uncomfortable. I don't like it when I see the sticker of the soccer player with "MacKenzie" on the middle of it or even the stick families. I feel super paranoid that someone is either going to call my kid's name when we are in a grocery store because they saw it on my car or follow me home and know what to expect when they enter the house.
This comes from being raised by two insurance adjusters...always assume the worst case scenario

I know your current housing situation isn't ideal, so this isn't directed towards/at you in any way, but the way I see it is that I chose a safe neighborhood in a safe area. My kids have a 10 mile radius of safety, easy...but outside of that I don't want to give anyone any ammunition to start a conversation through knowing their name or their interest. I want them to wander and explore, but I also want them to be safe and smart.
I think bubbles and scare tactics are equally bad, but educating a kid on "if someone you don't know knows your name that doesn't make them a friend" or even implementing the 'ol password "if someone is trying to talk to you ask them what the password is, if mommy & daddy know them they will know the answer, if not, run and scream and find the nearest person of authority" is what we have to do. I know the world isn't as scary as it was for us growing up (statistically), but I would have given the same advice 30 years ago

My sister is 6 years younger than me and we lived in a not nice area of South Florida until I was 8 so I very clearly remember the warnings I got and the warnings she got at ages 2-5. The password one was huge because it helped me feel safe that if I was confronted by a stranger saying that my mom was in the hospital and he was there to pick me up (an honest to goodness scenario I was terrified of as a child) I could ask what the password was and if it wasn't the one my parents told me I knew that I would be in danger. I will also teach my kids the 'ol "mom! there is someone at the door, do you want me to get it" trick if they are home alone and someone comes to the door. We don't have land lines, but I used to do the same thing if I picked up the phone when I was home alone.
I feel like educating your kids about the realistic dangers and how they can mitigate the risk is really empowering for them. I am a clear example of my parents taking it too far (I have a book of things to do in an emergency that includes what to do if you find a bag of pills or are at a party with drunk adults). But I think there is value in the conversation.

@mcbush we had a similar incident at the museum last week that I am still bothered about. We have been having camps that start at 9, earlier than our 10 am open time so our front door is open earlier but there isn't a person at the reception desk since the campers go right to back of the building where the instructor is. As I was coming in the building at a few minutes after 9, a 5 year old is coming out and says he'll hold the door for me and then says, "just going to get my sister!" and scoots past me, down the path, across the driveway and then straight into the parking lot. I look in the museum and don't see anyone following him and no one waiting for him in the middle of the lot and then he bursts into tears and is covering his eyes wandering around in traffic! A truck almost hit him turning into the lot. I had to run into the lot and talk him into holding my hand and coming back into the museum so we could call someone. Turns out the boy has severe separation anxiety and for the first 3 days of camp his mother sat right outside the door the entire 6 hour session. Supposedly the 17 year old sister was supposed to be the one to do that today but she just dropped him off. We called the parents and they were livid with the girl, but I kind of wanted to be like, she's a kid too! I felt bad for everyone in the situation, but the parents really need to teach the boy some coping skills or know they have to be with him at all times until they do because it was so close to a tragedy. I keep seeing the truck turn and almost hit him while he was crying in my head
G on the other hand could care less if we leave him and can recite his address, full name and both his parents names when asked so I just have to train Arlo early too!
