Parenting : Chapter 1, Incident 1
-
Damn right! :thumbsup: Safer for the kid, safer for the driver. Having a loose kid in the car is asking for trouble: in case of an accident they become a cannonball! P*ss*s me right off, seeing people carrying kids in their lap, under the same seatbelt even! :mad: (And yes, we have laws against it here, but we have laws against mobile phone usage while driving as well and that doesn't stop the morons. :sigh: )
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

Better handled thusly: Quitly look the child in the eye and inform him in a calm firm voice that if he doesn't sit quietly and stop annoying you, you will drive him off to somewhere lonely and push him out of the care so the wolves can eat his hands. Gone on, without pause, by noting that 'You might tell his parents where to pick him up after you've finished your dinner, although you expect they won't want to leave the house that late in the evening just to find him.' In case that fail to settle him down, drop him off at a hospital and sell his body parts.

Have, briefly, a long time ago. Now imagine what happens to an unrestrained child (in the front or back) if you get hit by an oncoming car. They fly forward at 80 ~ 100 Km/h and weighs what? 18 ~ 20 kg? That's some serious inertia: they will smash skulls or break necks if they hit them, and they will die or be seriously injured if they hit the windscreen instead. If they are on your lap with your seatbelt round you both, you will crush them like a bug in the same accident. You want that on your conscience? :omg:

Don't they have child seat laws where you live? A 4 year old should be in the back seat, strapped in to a booster chair or something similar.

You just pinched paining nerve (couldn't find the right idiom / saying in English)... We have laws, but enforcing it is a problem. People with right connection gets driving license without even visiting test center ! Traffic sense is so poor that driving in most Indian cities is like some kind of war-game (or road-rage kind of game) ! That reminds me of a story: Once there was an American who never believed in God visits India and on returning back, he was staunch believer of God.. When someone asked, why the change? He replied "Man, in India, people drive on roads and come back home at night." :-)

I was driving my car with this 4 years old kid , my cousin's little son. He kept on fiddling with the audio player, aircon buttons & whatever was there on the dashboard. Quite several times he jumped my arms to press the horn by himself. It was highly annoying, he was uncontrollable. Then he wanted to do something with the gear :omg:, when I stopped him , he swiftly moved to pull the handbrake. I just totally dislike kids hyperactive behaviors like these. I'm not sure if this is coming from their DNA or it's because of bad parenting. Anyway, when he tried to do these I told him. "Boy, if we are going to pull these two things (gear, Handbrake) we are sure to crash :sigh: " He replied me , "Oh we are gonna crash, then we reach god :-D ". I think my idiotic cousin has equated "Death" to "reaching god". I think many people get tired of answering their kids and end up throwing some rubbish explanations to critical questions. How dangerous is this if the kid mistakes dying as reaching god, when the entire family spends so much time saying God is great, God saves us all, and blah blah & those stuff. The kid is so happy about death. :wtf: What would be your answer when a kid asks what happens after we die. Or simply put, "What is death"?

When it comes to parenting I can strongly recommend the book Lets panic about babies! Got it when we were expecting our first. If someone tried to do something like that in my car I'd pull over and let loose the biggest barrage ever. :mad: Car safety is important to me. I even feel bad that we got out 4 year old facing forward because he is too tall to sit backwards for anything longer than 10min. Anyway I live in an atheistic family where we do have our own spiritual inclinations. When it comes to death I'd explain my view on how it is. It's unknown, most likely it's non-existence but nothing to be afraid of. You shouldn't look forward to it but you shouldn't be afraid. It's there, just accept it as part of the natural order. Death is required for life.

Laws (and their enforcement) exist in many cases because people are stupid. :) Now, that's not intended to insult anyone, it's just a general statement that if people took more responsibility for their own behavior, we wouldn't need all these "common sense" laws. Here in the US, we now have signs on the highways reminding us that texting while driving is illegal (at least here in New York) as well as signs telling us that there is a "text stop" 5 miles ahead. WTF. An amazing waste of money because people are idiots - myself included! Marc

That's why they invented the Audi RS4 family car and similar ones... when the children start making strange things you just need to press the acceleration pedal to get them fixed on the back seat. At much they make strange noises but nothing the motor sound can't hide.

Yeah.. Common Sense which is so uncommon now-a-days... :-) In India, when we are driving, we become so inconsiderate to others, that no law matters. :(( Everyone just wants to get ahead of others.. they won't give way to turning vehicles for example. Yield (word which I learnt when I was in US) is completely alien word. Result: chaos on the road... :sigh:

Yup I'm in complete agreement. I was just saying , if you come to India. You'll go mad, the moment you step out of your flight. :) Things are sickening mad here. Whenever I travel out and come back in, it takes a week or so to get used to the BSs. It'll take a long time (like centuries) to sort out things in India. And like I said, I was just driving between two streets.

4 words Child seat, seat belts. As for kids and questions, when they are about that age they ask non stop question, they're not really interested in the answer, but just learning the art of questioning and communicating. It's can be a pain :(

Next time, put him in the back seat with a seat belt :-) 4 year olds are not the best suited people for the passenger seat.

No there isn't, in India there are no child safety laws for drivers. You can seat a 1 year old baby in the passenger seat if you wanted to.

In India, in city traffic, it'd be rare if a car can accelerate to 30 mph :-) Which is why car collisions are rarely fatal. Two wheelers on the other hand - typically instant death.

In some places, you can seat the baby even in the driver seat. Nobody cares. lol. :) It's jarringly strange if I compare this with other countries. Even if I go out for couple of weeks, everything feels so difficult & weird back in India. But in a week, I get settle as one among the crowd getting along with every BS. I think you'll have a very tough time whenever you are here as you frequent here less.
