[quote=Anonymous]OP, I totally sympathize. We had a neighbor for a few years who was divorced w/2 kids. Some days she would send them to our house a half hour or so before the bus arrived. In theory it was fine - my husband and I have enough flexibility that one of us was always able to wait with our kids - but the reality is different. We both work and our kids are a handful, and so that last half hour before the bus often involved crazy running around, taking work calls while trying to get a kid (or a parent) dressed and lunches packed. Having two other kids in the house made it all harder. I think you are great to have helped this family out for the first few weeks, but honestly it's insane for people to expect you to do it through the winter. It probably feels awful to do but you really don't have an obligation to get her kids to the busstop for months on end. [/quote]
