Breaking: H & M in Car Chase

I think I remember, my first child aged 2, was in some sort of rigid car seat affair that required him being strapped in otherwise he'd have fallen out of it. I remember it well because I had a Renault 5 with only 3 doors so I had to get in the back too, to do the necessary, what a palaver! Not a problem with a large 4 door SUV I'm sure! When number 2 was less than a year, I got a brand new car with 5 doors, I was so happy much easier to strap them in without clambering in myself. I can't really remember what orders they issued, my younger one didn't say much until he was 3, continual ear infections rendered him a bit deaf for a while.

I do remember my granddaughter at a pretty young age, maybe 2 and half, issuing all manner of directives as to where to park, usually somewhere completely illegal and not a parking space at all, but always following it up with "I just said park there and you didn't listen!"

I can't comment whether Archie's speech was very advanced though I do remember they said his first word was 🐊 crocodile.

Boys are often slower at talking, so perhaps his speech was advanced.
My DDs chatted away by 15 months but not DS.

And when Harry did the "top of the bus" interview with James Corden, he said that Archie had asked the Queen for a waffle maker for Christmas. He must have been about 2.

Agh, but I have had the will, during a coffee break with no bourbons, (at the ⛱️ 👙), to delve into the Oprah transcript for more evidence!

Both Harry and Meghan said about Archie .......
M "But also, any time anyone leaves the house, he's like ‘Drive safe!’"
H "'Drive safe!’ He's not even two yet.”

Although not technically about wearing a seatbelt, it's still about driving prudently to avoid a catastrophe. That makes 3 occasions.
So we're ALL right on this one today!

Long time ago for my memory but I doubt my daughters aged 2 would have reminded me to put seat belts on , they hated them so would have remained silent

So therefore no 2 year old d er would say that?

Mine were excited to have them fitted. They watched me struggle with them for 2 days. It was an old car and I had to take out all the seats.

It wasn't till 1987 that rear seatbelts were fitted in new cars so it was a big job retro-fitting.

I'm sure that much later my children would have complained! And the ones being wrestled into car seats

VanillaSky, thank you for taking the time to delve into your memory banks to verify the Archie seatbelt story. I seem to remember the implication from H being that A knew how fussy he was about seatbelts being on.
I'm glad my own memory isn't as rusty as I sometimes think it is.

I think our 2 year old may well have done Anniebach.
But then we fitted seatbelts in a car (in the 90s) where the cost of all the various belts (6 of them) was more than the cost of the car they were fitted in! We were pretty invested in buckling-up!

I think my DDs might have done. Then try to wriggle out of the straps.
DS would have asked "Why? But Why. Why Mummy. Why?" about 50 times.

Patience is a virtue.

It is a bit hilarious when a thread which has wandered a bit, and then returned to its original subject, is criticised for wandering, which only sets off the wandering again!!

Thank you

No more to be said Fanny it happens every time on a H & M
thread

Oh Annie, please don’t.

As we moved on from discussing the opening post ?

I hope that you aren’t including me here.
Can we please move on. Please 🙏

I came back to look at this thread and once again a number of people have taken over the narrative with their personal insults. It’s incredibly frustrating for those of us just wanting to see what others think about the subject rather than about other people on the thread. It’s very annoying, coven or clique please stop it, it’s boring for the rest of us.

Well said!

Spot on, Nanatoone. I popped back for a quick look, and yes, we do occasionally get some playground bullying here, but as regards some of the recent exchanges they certainly take the bourbon cream for sheer childishness. Grans? Really?

I was writing it after the comments before Anniebach.

I agree.

But I do understand how it ends up happening.

It can be expected on Harry and Megan threads, it usually causes the thread to be closed.

I haven't got the will to check the footage, but in the night it came to me that it might have been Archie telling Harry to buckle himself up? Either way, Harry said his son knew what to tell him to do.
Archie could have been 3+ years because the Netflix docuseries was aired at the end of 2022.

Thank you Devorgilla would a two year old say that , I doubt it sorry.
