10/12 Overprotective Moms
Quote From: mommybluesI have a 9 year old and i live 2 blocks from the school and i will NOT let her walk. She has freinds who do. and that is fine for them. But i have seen and heard of kids missing on there way to school. I have worked my job around them to be here with them. I love them to much to let them get hurt .
I have a 9 year old and live 1 1/2 blocks from school. I walk with her partly because she'd be an easy target for someone bigger than her who is determined, and partly because there's a bad corner where three roads and a driveway to a parking lot meet which is right in the middle of the daily SUV parade. It's just not worth the risk to me. I know others who let their kids walk, but I just tell them I'm not ready yet. I trust my daughter, I just don't trust everyone else. It only takes once! But that, said, I understand the statiscal probablilty of something happening is pretty low. I just trust I'll know when it's time.
