[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How old are the kids? Can they just chill outside on your porch if you have one and read a book until it’s time to go? Inviting them in is disruptive but if they can all just walk with you, why not? I’d offer that - kids should come at x time and if they’re there early they have to wait outside with a book - and on rainy days their own parents must drive them.

Pickup is harder. I’d say no to that entirely unless it works for you or the kids can walk home on their own from your house. (Unless you’re certain the parents would pick them up from your house at exactly the time you specify)[/quote]

The kid could also just hang out at the school by the door if they are a few minutes early.  The problem is likely, they will be a lot more than a few minutes early and I’m sure OP would feel guilty about making them wait on the porch for 30 min. She will feel obligated to have the come in and yes, that would be disruptive to her own morning and trying to get she stuff in order [/quote]

This is a good idea right now that the weather is nice but you know weather guilt is going to kick in when it starts getting cold and if it’s raining. You’ll bring the kids in out of guilt.

I’m gonna stay with my advice up thread to just say no. [/quote]
