[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Go in late, telecommute, ask your husband to handle it, pay someone, carpool, etc.

You are a bad parent if you make your kids walk.[/quote]

Actually you are a bad parent for driving them. How coddling can we be to make our kids so entitled and lazy.  Wrap them up like Ralphy’s mom did in Christmas Story and send them on their way. These kids are desperate for exercise. You starting up and heating the car to drive to the bus stop or the school is obnoxious. Only this generation of parents think cold air is unsafe. How have the Canadians not all died of hypothermia yet?  :lol:

[b]The mommies driving kids about 7 houses to the bus stop, only to turn around to drive BACK the 7 houses back home again, are ridiculous. Do you remember a bunch of cars idling at your bus stop as a kid?[/b] [/quote]

Yes! There's a bunch of cars lined up at the bus stop all winter long and whenever it rains throughout the year. One of those cars is my next door neighbor, I live 4 houses away from the stop! I walk my kid to the bus stop as I walk the dog, no matter the weather and there are 5th graders sitting in cars, unable to walk 5-10 houses distance in the cold apparently. Ridiculous. Kids are dressed head to toe in Under Armour, I'm sure they can afford umbrellas for rain and appropriate winter apparels. [/quote]
