[quote=Anonymous]Why are they all there?  We just moved from PA and my kids take the bus to school.  We live in a SFH neighborhood with no busy streets and multiple bus stops.  I did a dry run of the stops to see which stop was the closest to us.  Two are almost equal and both about 10 houses away.  One off a corner, one the long way up our street.  I walked my kids up the first day and was surprised that there were more parents at the stop than children.  I mean like married couples with one kid. All just waiting for the bus.  This was last week.  Is this a thing in Maryland that parents have to sit at the bus stops with their kids?  My kids are 3rd and 5th and this was their third year walking to the bus stop alone and this stop is even closer than our old homes.  Will people judge me if I just send the kids?  I mean they seem nice, but it is nonsense chatter and gossip and I work from home and the morning is my busiest.  The kids don't want me walking them because they feel like they're babies and want to make friends. But literally every kid at the stop has 1-2 parents.  Even the bus patrol kid who is an only child.  She takes him in her car and then drives back home. Same for the afternoon. I am honestly flustered. This is really bizarre, isn't it?  [/quote]
