What do you do....?

Question

I was on this website where I purchased safety things for my kids for the week we are away

- child wrist bands with my cell phone number in case they get lost (disposible so I bought 1 per child per day at $1 each)

-allergy stickers that say "Please no __________ products for me. This sticker if for ____________."

- ID cards for each child (5 each 1 for my wallet, 1 for my husbands wallet, 1 for the child's pocket, 1 for a car seat and 1 for a stroller and if they don't have one, 2 extras for getting lost)

I know, I'm a huge over-planner, but I heard that your supose to have your child's fngerprint, DNA, and tooth prints (on the website it said) and keep them all in a place with all their records so that if God forbid your child ever got lost it would help the police find your child faster. Is it a waste of money or should I get the kits? I will put the links in additional details.

Answer 1

Get the kits, they sound great.

Answer 2

When my children were small I did the identity kits from McGruff the Crime Dog. I never had to use them but felt safer knowing I had them. It had height, weight, fingerprint, and phone number - No names.

Answer 3

YOU ARE I'D HAVE TO SAY ABOUT ONE OF THE BEST MOTHERS AND PLANNERS THERE ARE! YOU HAVE EVERYTHING ORGANZIED AND DETAILED DOWN TO THE LAST DETAIL! GET IT AND KEEPIT! YOU'RE GREAT. I ONLY HAVE 4 AND I  DID GOOD TO THE IDENTA KID THIS YEAR. THEY KEEP ME BUSY AND I CAN'T EVEN KEEP MY HOUSE ORGANIZED AT ALL. I NEED TO KNOW HOW YOU KEEP YOUR HOME ORGANIZED~ YOU'RE THE BEST!!!

Answer 4

With 5 children I do not know how you find the time to over-plan everything and then second guess yourself as you do. While I am all for insuring the safety of my children, I think you may go overboard with most things, including this.

Regarding the stickers, it is never wise to put your child's name on anything! Predators love this because they can use the child's name when luring them away. It makes the child more likely to go off with someone if their name is used.

I think you need to relax a bit!

Answer 5

what it the old rule about better to be safe then sorry....

Answer 6

h**l ya get it

Answer 7

I had my finger prints done as a child at a county fair. I don't think it hurts anything, but I also don't think it's necessary to overplan your vacation time by making sure there are 500 forms of identification.
