OP here. I drive my kid to school everyday. In those 40 min, I would be showering and getting myself and younger child ready for preschool. If my kid can't go to the bus stop alone, I am going to continue to drive him at 8:40.[/quote]

OP, suppose you did the following:

1. Find out when the bus comes.
2. Figure out the timing. For example, if the bus comes at 8:00 am, what time would you have to leave the house to get to the bus stop, and what time would you get back? Also, if you didn't have to drive your older child to school, what time would you have to leave the house to get your younger child to preschool?
3. See if you can figure out a way to make that work.[/quote]

OP here. I am fairly certain the bus comes between 8:00 and 8:10. We currently leave our house around 8:35 to get to school by 8:40. If I were to walk my son to the bus, we would need to walk out of the house around 8. I just don't think this is going to work. DS will just have to continue getting driven to school by me.[/quote]

I don't understand. You would need to walk out of the house around 8:00 to get to the bus by 8:10, and then you would be back at the house by 8:12, which would give you another 23 minutes before you had to leave the house again at 8:35. What am I missing?[/quote]
