[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can't believe you don't even know what time the bus comes! That says a lot.

Look, figure that out, mentally walk through your alternatives and decide. [b]It seems crazy to let a 6yo walk alone.[/b] [/quote]

But why??? It's a half block, not a mile!  He wouldn't even have to cross any streets.  A 6 year old should be more than capable to do this.[/quote]

It's a simple difference of opinion about what's safe. [/quote]

Yup. And [b]both opinions are okay[/b]. You know, since there are LOTS of ways to parent a child. 
[b]
FFS, don't go calling CPS on either type of parent. Do what you are comfortable with, and let other parents do what they think is okay.[/b] Me? I'll sleep and shower, and let my 6 year old get some independence. That said, I'd totally understand if another parent got up early and walked their kid. [/quote]

I'm 22:34 & I don't care if other parents want to ignore the facts & helicopter their kids. That's their right. I [i]do[/i] care, however, when other parents want to criminalize those of us who choose to give our kids age-appropriate freedoms & responsibilities that we, as their parents, feel they are ready for.
