[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Nanny here.  I pick up from three different stops, and have a toddler in the van.  Sorry, nope, not walking, especially not with a toddler who will refuse to ride in the stroller, and kids who will proceed to pull every single thing out of the backpacks to discuss while dropping everything on the ground.[/quote]

How old are all these kids you have to pick up?  Can't any of them walk without a Nanny to hold their hand

I personally can not stand the parents of older kids who STILL pick their kids up.  Let the kids walk, exercise, hang out with hands on the way home.  Stop coddling!!!   My daughter is in 2nd and I so want to let her do this but all the 4/5th grade mommies are still walking everyday with them.  Come on already. [/quote]

Given that there are busy streets and no, I don't trust three elementary kids (K twins, 1st) to be safe each walking a different route of 1-2.5 miles, so, none of them are going to walk.  Besides, we go to activities after school, and if I had to wait for each child to finally get home, we would miss a few and be late for others.  As it is, the kids do homework in the car, both while waiting for siblings, and while we drive, and because it's not wasted time, they are eager to get started.  This is the schedule the parents and I worked out, and it works perfectly for us.

If your child wants to walk home, it's safe and you haven't had her do it solely because other parents pick their children up, I would be more concerned with your reasoning.  Caving to peer pressure is much more of an issue.[/quote]
