[quote=Anonymous]Can one or both kids take a bus? If you see her going to the bus, why can’t one of you walk at least one kid to the bus instead of driving in the morning? I work remotely and walk my kids to school. Doors open at 8:40 and I’m at my desk by 8:55 for 9am meetings. Saves me $400 per month (2 kids)!

There are a lot of working moms in my neighborhood with super flexible jobs who walk kids home every day at 3:45. I have no idea what they do that the schedule works for them, but we’re still friendly! Sometimes they even invite my kids for a play date and my kids walk home with them and I go over and get them at 5:30 instead of walking over to the school.

It takes a village OP. You don’t have to be BFFs with every single mom, but if your kids like each other, it helps to cultivate a group of friendly acquaintances who have a variety of schedules and availability. Sounds like you are used to driving kids around at 7:45-8:30am. If our kids were in camp together, you could do morning drop off and I could pick then up at 4pm and let them play in my yard until 5:30! [/quote]
