Or maybe the mom does.

Maybe the mom has panic attacks and is afraid to walk to the bus stop. (BTDT)

Why does your child not walk to the bus stop by herself/himself? I am asking sincerely.

He is 8 and I can't see the bus stop from my home. I like to see him actually get on the bus.

I'm in all away across the country for work tonight yet I can still hear your blades churning load & clear.

How far away from the bus stop can you possibly live that you need to drive there? There are sooooo many bus stops in the nearby area that I cant see why anyone needs to drive to any bus stop. I'm thinking she is using somebody else's address so her kid can go to this school because her assigned school isn't a good one or something.

Maybe to have one-on-one time with her kid - a little pep rally of sorts. Some kids need that in the morning.

and please stop acting like Gladys. mind your own business, go get a job or something to keep you busy. people like you end up living miserable lives....always paying attention to what others are doing or what they have that you don't.

It's everybody's business when parents are harming the environment by needlessly idling in their cars almost every morning while they wait for their coddled kids' buses.

It's cold out. I'd rather sit in a warm car than stand at a bus stop when it's 22 degrees.

Unless maybe the weather was REALLY bad, a kid had a major disability, or getting to the bus stop required crossing an extremely busy road without a crossing guard or crosswalk/walk signal --the latter of which was very rare as bus routes were designed so that kids could easily walk to their stops --nobody's parents accompanied them to the bus stop or waited with them until the bus came past kindergarten (if that) when I was in school in the 80s & 90s.

In fact, it would have been TOTALLY EMBARRASSING for parents to accompany you to school or the bus stop, when I was in school in the 70s and 80s.
