Topic : Pre-school

 I agree with Queentween.  I live in a city that is quite big.    

 One day I was picking up my son from a birthday party.  I met 2 bus drivers. I had nothing nice to say but these ladies agreed with me but they also discussed with me that it wasn't always the bus drivers fault. I don't think that a lot of parents know that.  Many parents do not call the driver so they don't know who will be on the bus, Is that fair? No.To avoid the whole problem in a city, car pool or take your children) to school. Many of the parents have to leave for work, so take an extra15 mins and get them to school!    

  A little boy was sent on a school bus to go to kindergarten, after school, he got back on the bus to go home.  Everyone else was safely at home and this little boy was told to get off the bus at the worst ,scariest spot for any child at the age of 5! The bus driver dropped him off in the middle of my city.....DOWNTOWN.  I don't like walking around downtown and I'm a grown women!! Anyway this little boy wondered around for 2 1/2 hrs. Looking for someone to take him home.  He stopped a mom pushing her stroller down the street. He asked her how he was going to get home.  The RCMP were then brought in.  The boys mother was out looking for him.  The RCMP had found mom and brought the boy home.  The bus driver was out the next day, driving the school bus!! Where's the justice?!?!?!  

  I was rode the school bus when I was little to, but I was also living in a small community where everyone knew everyone. I felt safe! It is not safe to ride the school bus in a big city!!!!!!!!!  

I drive my oldest daughter to and from school and I will continue to drive all my children to and from school until We no longer live in a city.. Children are to precious.  After reading about the little boy will you stop and think about your children's) safety?!?!?!?!?!?!?? I sure do!!!!  

When I was going through a divorce 2 years ago, I never thought I would get custody but I thought I should at least try so my son would know down the road that I loved him enough to fight for him. Well, I got custody. Now I am being ridiculed for ripping him away from his two brothers from two diffrent dads (not that there is anything wrong with that). Also my ex says I am a taking my powers too extreme. My son just told his mom he wants to stay at her house " forever ". I work for a living....she does not. My son lives with me and goes to daycare during the day, therefore I see him for maybe 3hrs a day. I gave her extended weekend visits, every other Wednesday through Sunday and she has him all day long since she doesnt work, so all they do is watch t.v. and play ( I wish I could do that). She hasnt been paying support, and complains that she doesnt see him enough. She says I AM SELFISH for keeping him in daycare during the week. She lives over an hour away from me otherwise I would allow her to be the daycare provider. She wants me to let him go to her house Monday through Friday and I can have him every weekend. I would end up seeing him almost the same amount of hours as I do now....but I wont get to wake him up in the morning and see his first smile of the day or have him help me cook everynight, book reading time everynight, and of course the "tucking in" ritual. She says that is all my selfishness that I need to get over and that little boys need their mom more than they need their dad.. Am I selfish for taking him away from his brothers? Am I selfish for keeping him at my house? Do little boys need their mom more than they need their dad? Please respond and give me some useful advise. I love my son and I dont want him to resent me down the road.   

Did you ask your daughter why they were doing this?  Did you talk to her at all about it?  Even if she didn't really say anything to you, atleast she knows that she will be able to talk with you about this.  We can't give you specific answer as to why she was doing this, only she knows.  If you haven't talked to her about it, try that and see where it leads you.

Hope this helps.
