My husbands mother lives 3 counties over, about an hour away. To get there you have to drive a good stretch on the highway, and then on some very curvy country roads where the speed limit is 55 mph. I think that if she wants to see the baby (hes 8 months old) she should come to our house to see him instead of making us drive all the way out there with him. (Not to mention gas prices and were barely making ends meet as it is!) My husband doesn't have that great of a driving record either, and to top it off he doesn't have the metal hooks in his vehicle to strap the car seat it so he's just using the seat belt to strap it in. It just scares me to death having to drive him that far. It would be one thing if she worked and was busy a lot and couldn't make it down here to see him, but that isn't the case. She doesn't work and she comes down by our house all the time to get her hair done, to take her dogs to the groomer and the vet but has only came down here to see the baby 2 TIMES since he was born. I just think it should be her responsibility to drive all the way down here, and safer so we don't have the cart the baby so far away. What do you guys think?
