DH said I ABU, and that I am an "anomaly", so I am prepared to be told that by you lot too :)
I was running late today to pick up. Not hugely late, but late enough. When I got there, all my friends had collected their kids and gone, my son was stood there waiting for me with a teacher. The way the school works is all the parents stand at the bottom of the hill, classes are lead out and kids dismissed by their teacher.
My friends and I always stand in the same place. Yesterday one of my friends wasn't there, and I asked another friend who said she hadn't seen her car. So I rang her to see if everything was ok. Last week I spotted my neighbours son hadnt been collected, so I called my neighbour who was running late, and I said I would collect him and start walking home. I'm always alert if I see a child whose parents I know well hasn't been picked up and will make sure they are ok.
Clearly, none of my friends feel this way or notice this. AIbU to be a bit sad about that? I know my kids aren't their responsibility, and I shouldn't have been late (I don't even have a good excuse!) but I would have noticed if s friends kid was stood with the teacher and called said friend, or waited to check they got collected.
DH says I am "unusual" lol

AIBU?
To expect friends to keep half an eye out for me at pick up time?
