[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m just glad I live in a normal neighborhood after reading this depressing thread. We all look out for each others kids in a very , very chill way. I’d never assume I was taking responsibility for babysitting someone’s kid if they asked me if they got in the bus ok and I said “yup!” or “oh shoot I left before the bus came, sorry!”

Once a car tried to glide through the crosswalk when my kid was crossing and I watched my neighbor bang on their window and yell at them , on my behalf, as I was a block away. I didn’t even know her outside of saying hi in the mornings. I’d have done the same for her kid. I also picked up some random kids water bottle that he dropped in the crosswalk the other day and told him to keep going to make the light and I’d give it to him on the other side. And I did. I think he lives 2 blocks over? Don’t know his name. But this doesn’t mean I am responsible for him it just means I’m a normal human living in a community [/quote]

Those are one off things. Imposing a daily check in during the most hectic time of the day is not something a normal neighbor would do. Other parents are letting their kids walk to the bus stop alone. Are they all pestering a random neighbor every day too? No.

I wouldn’t even text my husband or nanny the same question every day because that’s obnoxious. [/quote]
