1) if DC forgets homework one day and realizes on way to school, would you go back and get it for them? yes
2) are they generally good student and responsible? yes
3) do you work and this would be late to work? yes, I have a flexible arrival time and generally arrive on the earlier side.
4) what age is your DC? 12 year old twins in 6th grade. Between them, I've probably driven about 5 things to the school this year. None in the past 3 months so they're learning!

I will bail my kids out every once in a while if the consequence for me is minor inconvenience. I'm not going to be late to a meeting with the head of my department because my kid forgot something, but I can be a little late if nothing's scheduled. My coworkers and I know stuff happens, from traffic to brain farts.

My kids are MS/HS now, but we didn't always go back for stuff even in ES. And they're all pretty responsible and occasionally forgetful.

1) No but I’d get a forgotten lunch and bring it back up. Not homework. (Small private school).
2) He’s a B student, has ADHD, and does forget things.
3) I work and I’d be late.
4) 13.
