License to drive an ECV

[lady ulrike]

I even admitted that my daughter was past the rope a bit, sharing in the blame :) Still, who steps on someone and keeps going?

Oh, I was not blaming your actions at all....and we had repeatedly moved them back, but you know, that's what kids do. Although, kids also learn with the right influence, I don't think we had to move them again after that.

Oh, I know you weren't blaming my actions, I was just admitting to the world that even one of my kids were capable of pulling some SGT's :)

And yes, lesson learned, for now...

Getting back to the SG momzilla with the daughter who "needed" an ECV but wasn't quite old enough--were crutches not good enough for her? I've seen people go around on cruthes for quite a ways, and with all the benches in the park to sit down on to rest, but I guess some people think they're too good for crutches.

The real question here is why the hell can't she use a normal bloody wheelchair?

There's always a wheel-chair. Oh wait,that would preclude them pushing around their little darling. :mad: Or actually doing some work for herself.

Alright, just wanted to make sure. :)

But see, many SGTs that kids do are not really SGTs because they are kids. The SGT comes into effect by the parents reaction.

I just recently started developing a foot problem...nearly 4 months before our next trip. My husband and eldest son suggested an ECV if I need it, but I'm terrified of turning into some scary SG on wheels....by accident! My eldest son said he'd push me in a wheelchair, but I think that'll get old VERY quickly for a 15 year old, lol.

Honestly...hoping the stupid foot thing will clear up before then so I don't have to worry about this...but it's been bugging me the last few weeks thinking about not being completely mobile. My 14 year old got a rude awakening when he made a reference to getting "on the rides faster" if I need assistance. I made sure to COMPLETELY make sure he realized that wouldn't happen. I told him I can stand in line just fine...the walking may be the problem. Trying to make sure my kids don't turn into future SG's!

If you are going to rent one when you get there, and are worried about using it, find out which model they have and then try and find a rental near where you live and rent one for a few days to get the hang of it!

We thought about getting MIL an ECV when we take her to the parks because she has COPD and can't walk a good deal, but we realized that she's a crappy driver and would probably end up breaking multiple ankles and bruising people's legs... then I'd have to read about her on this site! :D:

I'd rather push her....

Having been on crutches for a few days last month, long enough to remind me that I hate the damn things, I'd have settled for the wheelchair.
