[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It doesn’t really make any sense if OP lives close to school. If they’re dropping off at her house then why can’t they drop off at school? The only answer is that they want to drop off way earlier than the start of school, which makes sense because they are used to bus pick up times. 
How old are these kids? If they’re old enough to walk alone, wouldn’t mind as much. [/quote]

This. First paragraph is accurate and we ALL KNOW IT. Pig parents are so fast to jump all over an Op to defend aholes who offload their parenting inconveniences. End of.[/quote]

I thought the exact same thing. These parents really want her to watch the kids before school- and will slowly try to guilt her into doing that.  If the issue is long drop off line, why can’t they park in a neighborhood and walk their kid, arriving at earliest allowed drop off time? 🤷‍♀️ It will likely end up the same timing for them, as OP says she typically leaves last minute (they’ll be back to their cars and leaving for work by then, if they arrive early). [/quote]

Maybe they have a junior high or high school student that also suddenly has no bus, and they can’t get to the school at the earliest drop off time.  And maybe there isn’t parking around the school.  
OP isn’t exactly offering her driveway for them to park in, and she’s their friend.  What makes you think anyone else will?  [/quote]

If there is absolutely nowhere to park then they can get up early & be the first one in the drop off line. They’ll still be out of there earlier than they would be with this “drop off at OP’s house” plan. If they actually do have older kids aged junior high+, they should know how to handle this stuff by now. [/quote]
