I live opposite a young mum and her two children. They're both under 4.
She's on income support but looking for work.
I would always see her every morning taking her oldest to school while pushing the youngest in the pram. She takes the bus. It's uphill all the way so a bus is necessary for the journey really. She does this journey there and back twice a day.
I know a lot of people do similar.
My son has just started going to the same school. I leave after her and take my son in the car.
I don't see her on the way back as o get there earlier than her.
On the way back I always see her in the playground and we have a chat. I always feel quite guilty as I get into my car with my son, knowing we are driving to exactly where she house is and I have three car seats in the back.
I feel bad as I drive away and watch her waiting at the bus stop!
But I hate the idea of having to take her and her children every day for the rest of my sons time in school! I don't feel I can offer some days and not feel obliged to offer other days.
If it's pouring with rain I will offer but not unless the weather is bad.
I know it's not unreasonable but is that a little mean?
