Our children are doing clubs next week. One is 12yo and is having to travel about 30 minutes on the bus to ge there. The other is being driven there as he is 8 yo and dosen't go on buses by himself yet.
Both have to be there at 10.00 am both on opposite sides of town and me starting work at 10.15. I don't mind walking to work, whilst he uses the car to take themit's within walking distance and suggested that he drops DS1 off around 20 minutes earlier so he can run the other one to his club for 10.00am He said 'no, DS 1 can get the bus' Now i'm a bit about DS 1 getting the bus into a particulary rough area by himself. I'd rather drop them off myself and be late for work.
This insued in a massive row this morning saying that DS1 gets the bus into town by himself and it's only an extra 10 minutes on the same bus.
It's not that, it's a bit of a rough area and told him that if I took him he wouldn't be having the car that day as i'd have to travel at the speed of light to get to work after dropping them off.
Why can't he just get it through his ignorant skull that I don't want my 12yo going by himself on a bus in an area he is not familiar with that's dodgy.
