When they were 7. They certainly could stand at a bus stop.[/quote]

I actually think walking isn’t a big deal. And good kids can definitely stand at a bus stop. But OP is complaining that the only adult at the bus stop isn’t allowing the other children to run wild anymore. Seems like she expects the nanny to allow the kids to run around and play with and amuse her kid. Unpaid.

OP doesn’t have to pay but she can’t complsin that the nanny isn’t providing a free play date every morning anymore. So she’ll just have to explain to her child that he’ll have to be calmly waiting for the bus in future.[/quote]

Newsflash, normal kids like to run around and play with each other.  Nannies don't provide playdates, children do! [/quote]

Newsflash, normal parents don’t let 7 year old kids run around on others’ property right next to a road with other kids... at least not unless there’s a responsible adult there just on the off chance that they are actually needed on that particular day. Oh, wait, OP isn’t doing that either. She just doesn’t want to admit it. I’d bet money that she wouldn’t do what she’s doing if the nanny was not there. OP knows that too.[/quote]

You have no idea what they do at the bus stop and whose property it is.  You have weird ideas about how 7-year olds behave. They don't stand there like statues, they make up games and play with whatever and whoever they have. [/quote]
