[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We live 0.7 miles from kids' school. Easy walking and biking distance, when that works. (One child has had leg injury that prevents biking now, one has to carry lots of sports equipment, rainy days, etc.)

With back to school, they have to be there in the morning at different start times - one at 8:15 and the other at 8:45.

DH is adamant that "we're not going to run a shuttle back and forth to school all morning" - meaning, that we will offer one ride in the morning and that's it. Obviously, car has to leave the house in time for the first start. DC2 is balking at that, saying it is "unfair" to force an early departure to accommodate DC1. DC2 would get to school a half hour earlier than necessary, or can choose to walk or bike.

Is this reasonable? They are both in high school.[/quote]

Unreasonable. This is not a huge ask, ffs. Just drive them separately. [b]You're less than a mile[/b]. And this short lived given that you're only doing it twice b/c one is injured.

I hope you and your DH never need some accommodation.[/quote]

Yes, you’re less than a mile and I’m sure your kids have learned about climate change in school.  Only drive the one who physically can’t walk or bike, and only for the timeframe in which he can’t walk or bike.  Otherwise, rain or shine, heavy bags or not, they should walk or bike to school.[/quote]
