to think that if you drop a child off at their home you wait to see if they've got in the front door?

It's only coutreoud isn't it?

Someone was due to drop off DD3 at 7.30pm, bit decided to come apporx 30 mins earlier.

And just dropped and drive off.

We were all in the back garden so couldn't hear the door bring knocked.

Ever the resourceful one, after knocking for a while, she climbed over the dude gate and joined us. To our looks of wtaf have you just come from?

Ffs.

Should I say anything or leave it? Im inclined to leave it btw as am quite non confrontational. But am saddened that she could've been hanging around on the drive fir 30mins.

I LOVE you Bunbakee. Are you married?

I am open to offers

Yes actually

Oh bum.

A quick snuggly hug then?

I dunno, even with an adult friend, I'd prefer to see them going thru door before I drove off. It does just feel like basic courtesy.

I wouldn't worry about safety issues with a 10yo, more like faff issues.

Oh go on then. OH is away.

When I get dropped off they wait till I go in the door, it's common courtesy.

I do it with adults, not just kids!

On the way home from a night out I waited outside for ages until a light came on. Other friend I hadn't dropped off yet asked me why I was hanging about. I said "Well she's a bit pissed and what if she falls over in the garden and freezes to death?" (It was v v cold.) Friend v. amused but you never know. It didn't inconvenience me, sitting in my nice warm car for an extra minute just to be sure.
