[QUOTE="LittleDudesMom, post: 330002, member: 805"] I drove easy child to school throughout elementary, middle and high school. She went to private school for both elementary and middle so driving her was a must - and her middle school was a pretty good trec.... Her high school was public but it was in another district so I drove her until she could drive herself! As for difficult child, he went to public school about a mile away and could have ridden the bus, but I took and picked him up every day. He liked it because he could sleep a little longer, and I liked it because I just plain enjoy a hug and kiss as they get out of the car and I can also often gauge the kind of day he was going to have by his mood. I always liked seeing the excitement when he gets out - especially in elem since that is when he had the biggest issue and there was no way a bus ride at the end of the day was a good option. I was fortunate that I was able to do so. Now he's in middle school and he's out of zone so I've been doing the driving. High school will also be out of zone so I'll have another 4.5 years to go! I have to say that I actually enjoy the process of taking my kids (well, only one now) to and from school. I have heard and participated in many, many, many discussions that I am glad I was part of because of the taxi mom status! Sharon [/QUOTE]
