    Um, don’t you two have a child? I’d be less concerned about scratches and more concerned she didn’t notice she hit something. Today it was an office chair… When your child is a walking toddler…

    I’m not trying to shit on her, but she needs more awareness in these situations (I obviously don’t you or her, so this is just based on this post). Too many news stories of people not watching the kid/not seeing the kid in the driveway or garage, and the parent… Well. You understand what I’m trying to say I think.

      100% agree. i’ve warned her in the past if I catch her “go karting” with the kid in the car again there will be a serious conversation. But no, Tinyest cant walk yet, and is never unsupervised outside.

        It’s definitely a serious concern especially as visibility of small children from high set SUVs is atrocious. So easy to run over even a 5yo. Maybe frame it as a matter of costs too, if she’s not receptive to comments on her driving skill (and I say this as someone who sucks at parking) If not the cost to fix the car, because maybe she thinks it’s nbd, then the reduced value of the car when it’s time to sell.
