[quote=Anonymous]We are new to this latch key situation. 10 year old has a key and walks to and from the bus stop while I am at or on my way to work. Will be home alone 1 hour after school. Is it OK to ask my kid to text me once he has gotten on the bus in the morning and when he gets home at night? Since I am leaving for work when he leaves the house for school, I need to know immediately if he has missed the bus so I can circle back to drive him. There are no other neighbors home to drive him, etc. Having the text helps me relax and feel free to stay a little longer at work, run and errand etc. It helps if I know he is safely home or on the bus. How will this go over with the other kids on the bus in middle school? Someone posted previously they feel sorry for kids who have to text their parents when they get on the bus. This never occurred to me. The texting seems so practical and helpful. Thank you. [/quote]
