Kids and tha beach???

Question

my stepchildren want to go to the beach with their mother but they are staying in one room with 6 chldren and 2 adults I told their father they didnt need to go seeing that the beach is 6 hours away and they are fitting all those people in a 4 seater car with two Car Seats??? whats your opinion.....their mom thinks its ok....she makes some of them sit on the console.....

Answer 1

I would put your foot down and say if she isn't willing to rent a car that seats everyone comfortably and safely then they are not allowed to go.  I am a mother and there is NO way I would allow my kids to be in danger like that.

Answer 2

If they were going in a car that allowed them ALL to be safely seat belted in, then I would say ok.  Having everyone crammed in one room can be fun for a few nights, but the lack of safe transportation....I would say no.

Answer 3

I wouldn't want my kids or step-kids or nieces or nephews, for that matter, to be in a car that doesn't have enough seat belts for all of the passengers. By the way, it's also illegal. So if she gets caught, she will get a nice, big ticket. But the father needs to put his foot down and say absolutely not!

Answer 4

Well personally I don;t think the whole driving thing is very safe. As a mother I don't see how she would be willing to put her children in that situation.
