She is doing training course, he works away a lot. Aged grandparent helps with childcare but not up to doing school run twice a day. They are fairly spirited boys and don't always listen. With parents they run on 3-5 mins ahead, I don't let them. I have dd1 in yr2, dd2 yrR and ds(2) who has just started to want to walk some of the way. We do walking bus 2x week, so can only take them those days if they sign up too and parent walks on bus once a week. Am I selfish to say that they should go on walking bus everyday even if we still only do twice a week? No money or reciprocal childcare offered. My girls prefer not to share me and is nice time to catch up with them.
