[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree about the bus village comments. The reason they can't solve it amongst themselves is they are all selfish.[/quote]
Isn’t your school community a village? By your logic, I guess there’s a SAHM village, a pancreatic cancer village, an older-siblings-at-ivies village. WTF. The village is not so limited or transactional. You help when you can and you ask for help when you need it. This is a failed society. And before some selfish harpy declares me a taker, I have given so much more than I’ve ever asked. And I don’t mind because I was able to help. I had the resources. I don’t have this little ledger where I give and must receive an equal amount in return. [/quote]

The problem here is that OP can help them literally just as much as they can help themselves. They can all drive, or they can all park somewhere close to school and walk. So why should OP be expected to babysit someone else’s kids for free every day (because that’s clearly what this is about) while getting ready for her workday and then be responsible for making sure they all get to school safely just because she happens to live a little closer to school? Do you realize how insane you sound?[/quote]

Yes this comment is mental. The "village" is not expecting someone to cook every night of a meal train for example. The other parents are dumping on OP and not contributing to the village. [/quote]
