Your examples of bone idle laziness!

[TightPants]

School mum lives down my road. I actually live further from the school than she does and it’s a 7 minute walk for me and DC.
This mum (who is not disabled in any way btw) actually gets in her car and drives her DC to school. I see her parking up back at home on my way back so she’s not dropping DC on the way to work either. This is morning.
WTF!

Every morning

What's your AIBU?

Why do you care?

Is it really worth getting worked up about this?

Sometimes that’s the way it goes, at lest they’re at school on time!

It’s just an observation. I’m hardly miss fitness myself. But not walking for 5 bloody minutes is hardly setting a good example to her kid is it?

Why do you care? Are you one of THOSE mums?

That is lazy. If you had asked if you were being unreasonable to drive your children that distance to school, you would have been told you were.

@Aquamarine1029 why do you care to post?

Scroll on by love!

I work 4 days a week and drop my son off at school by car on the way, it's a 5 minute walk. On the other day we walk and you'd think it was miles away the amount of moaning my son does 😂

Yawn

Yeah I must be @Thankgoodness1

Obviously you must drive your precious 5 mins down the road too

It's lazy and shit for the environment.

You're not allowed to comment on that of course OP because of course it's 'none of your business' - you're meant to live in an observation and opinion free box shunning all human contact.

One of my neighbours does this, it’s about a 4min walk to the bus pickup and she lives a couple houses closer. Gets out the shiny massive SUV every morning and most afternoons. Full disclosure sometimes one of my D.C. will ask me for a lift and I might oblige as a treat now and then

YANBU. She's a lazy sod. Also, It's so bloody boring when people question why an OP is posting because it's got nothing to do with them and asking why they care. Obviously it's got nothing to do with them but lots of conversation happens in real life about things that have nothing to do with people. It's just idle chatter and it doesn't matter. It's the same on here.

People walking past the empty dishwasher at work to leave their dirty cups in the sink.

Gives me the rage.

There are also people who leave dirty cups in the sink rather than empty the clean stuff out of the dishwasher but I can at least see the logic behind that if for example they were rushing off to a meeting and didn't have time.

But walking an extra 5 steps past an empty dishwasher to leave a dirty cup in the sink JUST WHY?

Maybe she has a hidden disability you dont know about.

Just saying

I know a mother who does this too. Its a 5 minute walk through a park for her and she drives. The dad/partner walks the kids to school. I guess if you have the "luxury" then... I personally wouldn't though.

The irony is that she’s usually in gym gear and I know she goes to a couple of quite tough classes a week so she’s probably fitter than me
No disabilities.

Well one of the school mums used to live in a house overlooking the school. I knew her and one morning I watched her get in her 4 by 4 in her pyjamas and uggs drive 100 yards park at the nursery opposite the school drive back round another 25 yards park outside the school to usher him in then she got back in the 4 by 4 and drove 50 yards back to her house. I watched it all and laughed!

She might have chronic fatigue, perhaps.

But yes, small car journeys are not great for the environment and it may her kids very bad habits. Our dad often gave us lifts to school and it made the walk to school on days he was working much worse.

I haven't had my car cleaned since the summer.

Have I touched a nerve @BlueEyedGreeness?

No need for you to be rude either.

It's bone idle, and we should all care given the environmental impact. Car fumes around schools are a contributor to poor respiratory health in children.

I cycled past a secondary school on my commute, and as I went past one time I saw a family living literally opposite the school gates pile into a car, drive straight across the road, all the kids got out, the parent reversed back into their driveway and went back indoors!
There was a pedestrian crossing 10 metres away.
