[quote=Anonymous]I don’t see how OP IS “responsible”?

If this is the first time kid has been getting themselves to the bus, I think it’s natural for the parent to feel concerned. For me, after a few days I’d figure my kid had it and jot follow up again, but then again, I’d also have the discussion with the other parents that we were having kid figure this out themselves and I’d appreciate if the parents can just keep part of an eye out the first few days - and then watch from the sidelines myself to make sure kid was figuring it out, coursing streets properly, etc., which is what I did.

Maybe because I’m not American, but I don’t see the heavy responsibility here, as the mom is just asking p, so the answer could be “sorry! Didn’t see Larlo board the bus!” “Sorry, drove Larla instead!”

I guess my neighbourhood is different. We all watch out for each other’s kids. If I’m walking my kid anyway, there’s not a single reason in the world I can’t just notice the other kid and respond. This isn’t a responsibility - it’s a kindness. [/quote]
