Today, while driving home, I looked in the rear-view mirror and saw that my three-year-old daughter had managed to get out of her seat and had crawled to the back window. I pulled over and strapped her in again. Five minutes later she was back at the window. FML

Today, I put my phone on top the car while putting my daughter in her car seat. Told myself not to forget it. Then I drove away, and it flew off the top of the car on the freeway. It got ran over. FML

Today, I completely lost it when I found out my mom was driving around with my 20-month-old daughter not sat in a car seat. She told me I was overreacting, and that everything was fine since she “prayed for a safe journey.” FML

Today, I went to pick up my goddaughter while her mother went to work. She was being fussy, and I was surprised when she was quiet in the car; I just figured she'd fallen asleep. I got to my house and realized I'd never put her in my car, she was still sitting in my friend's driveway. FML

Today, I picked up my 4-year-old daughter from day care. As we're driving home, a butterfly lands on the windshield. Just as my daughter comments on how pretty the butterfly is, I turned a corner and accidentally hit the windshield wipers and smeared the pretty butterfly across the windshield. FML

Today, while driving home, my 3-year-old daughter told me she had to poop. I told her that she would have to wait until we got home. When we got home, she pulled down her pants and shat on the floor, because, "I'm home now." FML

Bat out of Hell

Today, my kid threw a fit on our way home, wanting me to stop and call grandma. Why? Because she was convinced I was going to wreck the car, and grandma is a good driver who won't crash. When we got home, she stopped fussing, said, "Thank god, we're home," ran up to grandpa and said, "Mom's a scary driver." She's 3. FML

Today, I realized that my five-year-old daughters are deranged psychopaths, when one of them started screaming to get my attention while the other pulled the car door shut on my fingers. FML

Today, I was pumping gas, when my daughter called me. After I hung up, I put my phone on the car roof while I grabbed my bag. I completely forgot about it and only realized when it shot off the roof as I braked at a traffic light. FML

Just get a better seat. And next time threaten her how important it is because you's can get in a serious accident and you in trouble OP.

Harry Houdini has been reincarnated as your daughter. Perhaps you could move her seat to the window so she can see? Little kids are so determined, where there's a will, there's a way.

this reminds me of when i was a baby i would climb out of my crib with ease (i was the runt of the litter), my parent's were perplexed as to how i did it so one night my mother hid and watched me in action, she was amazed at how i was able to climb out of there and called me the little ninja

I'm sure at 3-years-old she should be in a 5-point harness that she can't escape from.

Had she ever done it before and been disciplined for it? Doubtful since you started with the fact that she did "that once". Had she ever in fact had it explained to her that it was incorrect behavior and why it was incorrect behavior to unbuckle herself and/or climb out of her car seat? If the answer to those questions is no than your response to her behavior was ridiculous and over the top. If she had never had it explained to her why her behavior was wrong before then that would have been the place to start. It is completely unnecessary to traumatize your child by making her think you are going to ditch her at a random truck stop for climbing out of her car seat. That is actually pretty much only an acceptable response for a refusal to get in the car at all.
