How the fuck I'm going to get

[Tuppytuptup]

My son to school. Dh took my car this morning because his wouldn't start. I have two babies, a sick 11 and 7 year old and a teenager who needs to be at school for assessment week. His school is two miles away, it's freezing cold, the bus route to school is closed. How am I going to get him to school??

Walk! little girl next door used to do 3 miles to get the bus for nursery at 3years old.

2 miles? Walk FGS! I'm sure (despite having been poorly) he will survive it. YABU.

If he's not well enough to walk 2 miles he's not well enough for school. Even if that means missing assessments.

If he is well enough to be in school he is capable of walking 2 miles. Its really not far.

Oh well he's got the perfect excuse not to go in then hasn't he

Sounds a stressful morning. Hope he gets to school ok. Pack him off and have a . You are not a crap mum.

Oh FFS, kit him out with a couple of spare pens and a note to explain the situation then bundle him out of the door. At least he won't have to carry a bag.

And quit being a drama llama.

It's 2 miles to DS's college, he walks every day, and back.
Are there pavements or cyclepaths? He needs to wrap up well and get going.
Check the school is open though, because that is annoying!

Oh, and what Taggie said. Too ill to walk, too ill for school.

You're not doing him any favours being this mardy about him. So long as he's wrapped up he won't turn to ice.

Wrap him up warm, big coat, gloves, scarf, give him a flask and snack to take, good sturdy boots, make sure he has a hat and a mobile phone... for his 2 mile expedition ... I am joking, he'll be fine!

A 3 year old of a friend's used to BIKE 1.5 miles (often in wind/rain) when we lived in rural Scotland.

I used to walk 3 miles to school (6 miles total) when I was at secondary, about....12 years ago?

Cold weather does not make you ill, germs do.

Do you have any huskies?

Coconutty-yes lots. I love cleaning up sick throughout the night and tandem feeding two babies. i love that my asd son has been excluded from school and my dh(I use the term dear very loosely) taking the absolute piss by taking my car just because he left the battery go flat on his! Absolutely love it.

Has the tonsillitis perhaps left him a little husky?

Has he set off yet?

Oh for goodness sake. Either he walks or you keep him home. There's no reason why a teenager can't drag himself 2 miles to school. But if you don't want him to do that then that's the end of it isn't it?

You have a lot on your plate, but you need to have a sense of proportion.
He gets himself to school, or he stays at home.
DH is a different issue. Does your son with AS prefer being excluded? Mine was always happy not to have to go.

I'm going to hide this thread now, as every constructive suggestion has been met with nothing but drama from the OP.

You can solve the getting to school problem immediately by getting off MN and sending him to school on foot. If you choose to, you can also tell your H that he needs to drop the bag off.

You've had a rough night and morning, the last thing you want is a mardy teenager hanging about the house when he should be at school.
Boot him out with a note explaining about his bag.

Is he on his way?

You sound knackered. It's hard when the kids are I'll, especially if you think your DH is being inconsiderate.

Pack off DS for walk - he might enjoy it. With note explaining missing school bag. He will be fine. My DS y7 walks to and from school every day -2.5 miles. The only problem is how hungry it makes him.

Make tea. Drink two cups.

Ask neighbours or others to help you jump start DHs car if you have leads.

Drive to nearest shop with kids. Buy wine for this evening.

My primary school was 2 miles away and my mother had no car.

If the bus was off in secondary due to ice or snow it was 5 miles.

I survived.... And my mother wouldn't even let me stay home with tonsillitis as I got it about 5/6 times every winter and she didn't want me missing that much school!
