Just use the school bus. Wake up early. So much easier than needing to depend on someone.

Make your husband do it

My daughter (age 17) does school pick-up for two kids in our neighborhood. They pay her $20/hour. It's not every day though.

It’s a year-old thread. I imagine they’ve figured it out by now.

Thanks for all the suggestions. I'll def check into highschool students and teachers, great thoughts!

Hubs and I are both full time physicians working for big hospital systems where we don't control the patients or our schedules so we have no flexibility and cannot just "adjust accordingly" like some have mentioned. That would be great, going to your appt only to be told, oh sorry you can't be seen right now, your doctor is doing car pool duty, come back at 9:30-10am. Wish we would've chosen more flexible professions though esp if we had the forsight of covid!

I can’t stop laughing. What an entitled such and such. Sweet pea - I am sure you are seconds away from curing cancer - but sometimes the child you chose to bear isn’t decor you bring out when convenient for you. Pathetic.

dp pp why are you so mean? Doctors like the op don't need to "cure cancer" to do good for our society! Plus cancer is many diseases not just one! Thank you op and your dh for doing your jobs! Many people appreciate what you do.

but it isn't our job to get her kid to school. Who would want it unless they paid them for other jobs?

I think I'd get my child in the habit of taking the bus. I wish I had done that with my kids earlier. They make friends and you keep your sanity.

All the retired people around here are either rich or have fat gov't pensions.

Don't. I tried and they took my money and refused to refund. It's a complete scam.

This thread is old but we have a college student do this for us 2x per week and she is wonderful. It’s helpful to have 2 days to work early or late. Sometimes we can fit in a grocery trip or a trip to the gym which helps free up weekend time for family time vs errands. Highly recommend!

Or just don’t want to deal with your kids.

yea, sorry OP you are too much. you wouldn't have appointments made at 9:30 if you weren't at work. Also I'll just say that in the car time is usually the only time of day I can talk to my child.

What’s up with these judgmental responses? So she should quit her job now? As I read it, OP is saying she has inflexible schedule and seeking ideas regarding transportation. She already said she doesn’t control her calendar, the hospital system does. Many working parents have professions that make childcare difficult. Her situation isn’t unique and neither is her question. If she didn’t specify her profession but just said that she doesn’t control her work schedule, I don’t think we’d see some of these responses. If the mention of her profession is triggering to you, that says more about you than her.

She laid on the superiority complex by saying how would we feel if we had an appointment with her at 9:30 and she wasn't there? Actually with most private school drop offs being around 8 am not sure I understand 9:30 but that was the problem.

+1. OP is over the top impressed with herself. I have many doctor friends and they love that their profession allows them the flexibility to manage appointments around being with their kids. Kids are first priority.

Exactly.

Can you elaborate? We were thinking of using them.
