When my first child was at primary school I worked full time and so didn't do all drop offs and pick ups. I worked shifts so could manage a couple every week.
I liked when I could drop her off and pick her up and enjoyed having that time with her.
My son is in primary two and following mat leave of child no 3 I gave up work meaning I do all drop offs and pick ups.
I find it quite hard. It's really cliquey and there's a whole group of girls mums who congregate round the gates so you've got to walk through them all....I don't understand why they have to stand in such a big group at the front ?
I spoke to my husband and he said I need to toughen up a bit, and it's not about me but about my ds.
My ds is a very very active outgoing child and is really happy where he is.
How do other people feel about the school gates? Sure I can't be the only one who finds it all a bit of a minefield !
