[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]eeewwwww.  I can only imagine the high self-esteem of a child that arrives at school/activities in a cab when the rest of the cohort is dropped off by a family member or steady nanny.  My god, where does the outsourcing of our parenting responsibilities end!
I'd just love to see 1) the therapy bills for these kids and 2) the lovely retirement facilities they find one day for these "loving" parents.  Cats in the cradle anyone?[/quote]. I took a taxi to high school everyday.  My parents expected me to walk, but it was a long walk and I had money from my movie theatre job.  I would love such a service for my pre-k DD next year.  It would buy me enough time to avoid aftercare everyday.  How is that worse than a nanny?[/quote]

Are you serious?  You would put a pre-k aged daughter into a taxi to send her to school?!?  What kind of a parent are you?  You really cannot understand that putting a young child into a cab with a stranger driving her around completely unsupervised is outrageous.  Do you not understand that a nanny theoretically would bond with the child and would, also presumably, have provided references from other parents who trusted her to look after their children.  Honestly, no parent can be with their children 100% of the time, but it is part of parenting to use decent judgement regarding the people you allow to access your child.  This is, at minimum a safety issue.  I think if you don't understand that, it's not even worth discussing the general neglect and abject callousness of dumping your child onto a stranger.  Good luck to your child.[/quote]
