This is from quite a few months ago (think winter time), but just hearing about alot of sucky parents made me want to jump on hte bandwagon and tell this story.
As I said earlier, it was wintertime and SNOWING. There was ice on the roads and snow covering it. This is the type of weather I learned to drive, but I still wouldn't like to drive myself around this, let alone other people. I was working drive thru. This woman, with her young child in the FRONT SEAT pulls up ON HER CELLPHONE.
Ok. One, your young child (I would guess around the age of four) should NOT be in the front seat,even with a booster seat (which this child was not even in). Two, you should NOT be on your cellphone in this type of weather. After she receives her order,she speeds off.
I may not be a parent, but common sense tells us when a child should be in a booster seat, when it is appropriate to have them in the front seat, and that during dangerous weather when people who are going under the speed limit with both hands on the steering wheel lose control and die in a crash, you should not be on the phone, one hand on the wheel.
I wish I could have been able to say something, but I know it is not my place (regardless of my age or if I'm a parent) to tell another person how to take care of their kid. It just saddens me that these children are basically put in danger because mommy or daddy (usually moms. Not trying to be sexist. It's just what I am observing) MUST talk on the phone while driving in wintery hell instead of telling that person they will call them right back.
To any parent in this forum, was I justified in wanting to tell her off and wanting to steal that precious baby girl away so she wouldn't get hurt on the way home?
