Dh takes dd to school and collects every day. This is the best way to get her in on time, buses would be such a faff of walking, changing buses, more walking, its just easier to do this. I have no problem with this.
But I do think she should be more independent the rest of the time, and not expect lifts all over the place at weekends.
I suggested that she and her friends go into town on the bus today, instead of getting driven in and collected.
She said no way, none of her friends have to do this, and I'm not fair.
AIBU to want her to be more independent at 13? Or is it still too young? I was getting the bus to school from 11, but that was hundreds of years ago. Have things changed that much?
What age did your dcs start getting themselves around?
