My father-in-law is 88, stubborn as a mule and drives without wearing a seatbelt. (You do have to love him. But that's a dangerous habit.)
Oh, we've told him more times than I care to count that it is UNSAFE, AGAINST THE LAW and just plain STUPID. Especially since if he is hurt or killed in an accident he will be directly responsible for sending my 88-year-old-mother-in-law right into a nursing home where she will surely die without his continuing care and love!!!
It has done no good. We have wasted our breath. Admittedly, he has a hearing problem and wears a hearing aid—sometimes. But his is basically a listening problem. He doesn't.
My mother-in-law is the local hospital at the moment and when we visit today, if he's there, I'm going to place this little WARNING I created on his car.
It's worth a shot.
And if it works, maybe I'll create another to keep him from snacking on cookies and candy and anything loaded with sugar when he thinks no one is looking. Yep, he's diabetic.
UPDATE:
Back to the drawing board.
UPDATE:
The seatbelt warning notice failed. Not that I expected a miracle. My father-in-law is a hard case.
Back to the drawing board.
