She has called here over and over wanting Olivia.  I finally set my laws.  She is over the 40 lb limit of Olivias carseat she has.  Olivia is 43 lbs at this time, and not even 3 yrs old yet.  She loses a couple of pounds at home, but everytime she goes with grandma if only for 2 days she gains 3.  I had to go out and buy my own new seat at almost 200 bucks to front face her to 65 lbs.  Grandma tried to tell me her booster seat is legal.  I informed her in ohio it is not until she is 40 lbs and 4 yrs old.  I cannot allow my daughter to leave this house and not be safe. 

She thinks (even though I told her what I paid) that she can buy this extended seat for about 60 bucks.  I honestly cannot get mine out of my truck, and don't need to be carrying it around at almost 28 weeks pregnant.  *sigh*   Ever get the feeling a blowup is on the way?
