[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]

I really appreciate the whole people are just making up excuses to say No when you are just making up situations where the drop off parents familiy and needs are somehow greater and more important than the OP.

Also, to the person who said my first thought would be how can I avoid the drop off line---- that apparently you want OP to be a part of, thats just the type of blinded hypocrisy we are calling out.

The people most likely to reciprocate and need their problem of no transport solved are the other bus kids. That would be my first inclination. And they didnt offer- off the bat- to say hey if we drop off the kids MWF we can pick up T/TH. They didnt offer a village to begin with. They are takers, plain and simple. [/quote]
