Daycare quit using them (yeah!), then the girls went to Summer Camp where they used big charter buses for field trips. Then there was school (K-1 building) which of course used school buses, and then to after care which was on-site, so no transportation needs. When dh lost his job, they just started riding the bus home from school together since he was home. Then, summer camp again (again with the nice charter buses). So, things have been ok transportation wise.
Until now Now A is in second grade at a different school, and K is in first at the same one from last year. And, I can't afford to send them to after care every day of the week, which would of course be in two different buildings several miles apart as well. They won't do partial weeks. You pay for the whole month, whether you use it or not. So, no more cushy on-site care.
The same place that did summer camp does after school care and will do partial weeks, BUT for school pickup they use those %^*! 15 passenger vans! Ugh So, now I don't know what to do. The other places I've checked I either can't afford, won't do partial weeks, or use the same vans. Why won't they just outlaw the blinking things!
So...I guess, wwyd? Given the law is 4 and 40 here, odds on using a restraint on those things is pretty much 0. The girls really want to go there, because they can swim every Friday and they love the coordinators there, not to mention several of their friends will be going. And dh wants them to go, because it means he won't have to leave work, wait for them to get home from school, wait for me to get home from work, and then go back in hours later for the rest of the night. So, I am the mean, paranoid, overly cautious mommy on everyone's bad list Do you think it's unreasonable?
