[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At the risk of sounding sexist, is your child a boy or girl? I say this because I have a very mature 14 year old boy who looks like he’s 16 and he rides Uber teen in the day ( we haven’t done it at night yet). But there’s no way I’d let my more immature daughter who is 13, but looks 11, in a car with a stranger. The odds of getting sexually abused or anything going wrong would be higher in her case.

It’s not sexist.  I’m a PP and said I let my son take it in middle school.  He was big at 13 and now at 15 he's taller and bigger than DH. He looks like a grown man.  I wouldn’t feel comfortable with my tiny 5’2 daughter alone in an Uber.  [/quote]

This is not sexist. My 14yo is 5’8” and taller than me (mom). I just started letting him take an Uber.

I have 3 kids. I’m not a single mom but Dh has a demanding job. I am often solo and with 3 kids who have to be at different places. When my youngest was younger, I had a sitter stay home with youngest while I drove older kids. Now my kids are old enough that I can leave my youngest with my middle or oldest child while I drive other kid.

My 14yo only recently started having activities ending so late in high school. Previously everything ended at a decent time. If your kid regularly ends at 10pm, this schedule does not work for your family. Ask your ex to help drive, get a sitter or carpool.[/quote]

There is no reason why you or your husband cannot pick up your kids or get a sitter.[/quote]

Pp here. Yes, my husband and I can pick up my kid. I have a husband and two kids who are old enough to stay home alone with youngest 6yo. My 6yo goes in the car sleepy to pick up older siblings sometimes but usually Dh or one older kid can be home with her.

In OP’s situation, I would tell my kid no to activity. 30 min at 10pm is really inconvenient. [/quote]
