when my eldest first started primary I worked different shifts so wasn’t always there to take her to school or collect her and I really missed that! Luckily I changed jobs when she was in year 3 so I really made up for it,
Because my youngest daughter had severe speech & language delay and later diagnosed with ASD she went to a specialist language school which was a fair distance. She was picked up by taxi and I remember crying every morning her first week of school knowing I wasn’t the one taking her. I also found communication with the school difficult at times as opposed to being there in person to sort out issues etc.
Then we moved house and she is in mainstream with 1:1 support. I only work part time now and can take her to school and collect. It’s fantastic we talk about so many things along the way.
Yes sometimes I detest the school run especially on cold rainy mornings but it’s part of being a parent, something Sarah is highly inexperienced in!
Also I think she believes she’s above all the other parents there and TBH could you imagine if she turned up at the school gates ( Isla’s and Esme’s school anyway )
I could just imagine the looks and the sniggers!!
