Pregnant lady here. To those who have local parents or in laws, do they have a car seat for their car, too?

Shared with my mom which car seat we’re getting, was just making conversation. She made a comment about possibly getting a car seat for her and my dad for when “you let us help with the baby.” Maybe I’m pregnant and hormonal but for some reason I was put off by this, I have a difficult and complex relationship with my parents and I’m not sure how much I think I want them to be involved. I won’t shun them of course, I think they just think we’re closer than we actually are. I just kind of nodded and moved the conversation along because I was unsure of how to answer at the time.

My plan is to be a SAHM, came to this decision with husband. Both of us fully on board. Not to say we won’t ever ask for help from my parents (husband’s parents are across the state), but that it might be different if I planned to be a full time working mom, in which case the assistance from my parents might be more crucial.

Not to mention both my mom and dad’s driving tendencies stress me out a little, each for different reasons. Not that I don’t trust that they would be able safely get my daughter from A to B, just that if them driving my baby isn’t necessary then I don’t want it.

All this to say, even with my parents watching her from time to time, I just don’t see why it would be necessary for them to have their own car seat. Like where are you taking my baby? Lol
