In USA, almost everyone is scrolling their phones driving down the roads. Statistically speaking, most auto accidents caused by distracted drivers are caused by Cellular Phones. Smartphones are a compulsive addiction. Most can't live without them.
Bob had his neck fractured in a rear end so called "accident" when a 33 yr old driver slammed him at a red light. The guy admitted he was on Facebook and said Bob slammed on his breaks and made him hit him. Bobby said he was at the light almost a minute, stopped already waiting for green.
Tons and tons of doctor bills. countless dr visits. drugs theropy and all for what? Gotta have that facebook while you are moving and hauling your 3000# machine down the road. 12 years ago. It is even worse now.

Sure glad my name isn't "Almost Everyone" or "Most"

I'm sorry! "Live in company" sounds like the exact opposite of bedrest. What were they thinking???

It had more to do with the fact that she kept taking my toddlers out of strollers/carts in stores and then not holding their hands and making me chase them down. Wouldn't respect my wishes when I told my daughter NO to a 40 dollar stuffed animal - bought it for her after I said no. (I don't play favorites, since no one else was getting a 40 dollar stuffed animal, she shouldn't have had it bought for her, either.)

Wouldn't respect my wishes when I said no - my daughter had to stay with me and her father when her aunt invited her to go see the fishes while she used the bathroom - fishes were by the exit, and my daughter has been yelled at before for putting her hands in the water because she gets excited. She requires supervision, plus it's right by the exit and the place didn't have people I trust alone wiht my kid(s) kind of a deal. I told her no, aunt told my daughter to ignore me and come on - I had to chase after her so she wouldn't be alone by the fish.

Just stuff like that. I told her if she took a toddler out of a cart, she had to hold their hand. She'd take them out, let go of them. Id' stick them back IN the cart, 30 seconds later, she'd take the kid out of again and let go of them. I ended up having to chase down teenagers, toddlers, and other kids repeatedly the entire week because they wouldn't follow my rules.

then, they had the gall to complain about how chaotic it was, and how they needed to drink and how "are you going to handle another one."

DUDE, my kids NEVER act like that in public with me. I take them alone, EVERY TIME I LEAVE... and I NEVER lose a kid -never have a kid disrespect me, never have a kid wander off.

Because, I enforce my rules and follow them. Having other adults deliberately tell my kids to ignore safety rules, is why there was chaos.

I totally agree with you. People fail to consider other's situations.

My history with his family is they are not only NOT used to having multiple little ones around, all at once, they don't think about how much effort it takes to be around little kids when you ARENT used to it.

Example : Last year, my mother in law LEFT my toddler in the car, in the 100 degree texas heat. I have a heart attack, thinking about what COULD have happened, had I not been there. She walked in, sat down, took my teenager and husband with her while I took my daughters to the bathroom. She pulled my husband/teen away from the car before they got my toddler out. We have a system when we get kids out of the car. She interrupted my husband, who wasn't used to having all 4 kids, and didn't think about it until I came back and freaked out on them for leaving him in the car.

I cannot imagine what would have happened, had I not been there. So I don't trust people who aren't used to big families, around my kids after that. I've seen shit happen with people who aren't used to toddlers/ or a large group of kids.

I'm not just being a control freak for no reason - when I relax my guard around them, bad things happen to my kids.
