[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I feel like that list is a joke.  It's a joke, right? Of course it takes you that long if you are a moron with saying goodbye issues.

I'm in and out. Teachers hate moms like you.[/quote]

eh, the preschools generally want parents to be in line with their kids and ready for drop off when the classroom door opens.  It gets all of the kids started at the same time.

That has nothing to do with "pick flowers, wave goodbye at window, potty child (this happens before you leave the home), go back in for another hug" etc. This Mom may have nothing better to do with her day, but most people enjoy the process being as seamless and quick as possible. OP's person was able to do it in 2 minutes. I can do it in under 5. [/quote]

Good for you.  I'm saying that simply walking my kid in with the crowd of other kids/parents walking into the school, standing in line at the door and waiting for it to open, giving a quick hug and then walking out and back to the car is more of a 10 minute process.

Now if I waited and zoomed in with my kid as a straggler...yeah, I could do it much quicker but I don't think that the teachers appreciate that too much.[/quote]

Do you do the same ridiculous 20 step process at pick up? Because the OP is about pick up, not your child having a poop and seven special hugs at drop off. [/quote]

I'm not the one with the long list.  I explained exactly how drop off works.  Pick up would mean getting to the school, standing in line for my child, getting my child from the classroom, walking back out through a crowd of other parents/kids, possibly having a quick chat with other parents/kids on the way out.  Again, this is not a 2 minute process.  It is closer to 10 minutes.

You could be speedier by always being a bit on the late side and being one of the last parents there to pick up your kid.[/quote]

Not all centers have a finite start and end time, more of a window, so it would be very unusual for all parents to arrive at the same time.[/quote]

Then if this is the case and parents are picking up at staggered times throughout the day then we are also talking about a relatively empty parking lot at any given time and a baby alone inside a car with the engine running...no one around.  Pick up is probably quicker but if a carjacker is casing the lot for an opportunity...there would be no one around to see him or stop him.

[/quote]

If a carjacker has been casing out the preschool I'm sure they know which cars to avoid- and it would be those with babies. Carjackers want cars. Kidnappers want babies. [/quote]

Maybe a pedophile or kidnapper would be targeting the baby and only taking the car as a means to an end.  If you or someone you know is making it a habit to leave a small child outside, alone and unsupervised....maybe rethink that.[/quote]
