[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There's a mom in our neighborhood who drives her kid to the bus stop every day and stops right in front of the kids and then spends 10-15 minutes chitchatting with other parents while still in the car. She has her car running the entire time and the fumes are going straight towards the other children at the bus stop. Her own child is not impacted as he's still in the car while she's doing this.

There no oom for the children to move out of the way as our neighborhood does not have side walks and it's a very busy road. However, there is plenty of room for her to pull over before or after the bus stop or make a turn so that she's on a neighboring street and not so close to the kids.

I am not sure how to approach this mother who seems to either be clueless or very rude. What would you do? I would like to find a way to deal with this without confronting her directly as I don't really know her and don't know how she would take this kind of feedback. I have considered driving my child to school just because of this issue but that would make me late to work every day and seems very extreme. Help!

Why does she drive her kids to the bus stop?  Do they not have legs that can walk there.  If she has 10-15min to linger, I am confused as to why she would drive.  [/quote]

I drive to the bus stop because I have to get somewhere else right after the bus comes.  I don't have time to walk back home and get my car.  I think OP is saying she lingers for 10 minutes while the kids are waiting for the bus with the engine off.  [/quote]
