We have a school bus that goes past our house twice in the morning at 7.50 and then about 8.15 and then leaves from the school in the afternoon. Now it seems that once they hit about 16 it's not 'cool' to get the bus any more. I don't get called on often for lifts but the whole situation annoys me when we have a school bus there. Some parents always give there teens lifts - which I personally think is ridiculous - so they take the surplus to school also - friends of their kids - I've just had a row with my 16 year old as to the stupidness of the whole situation and the babying of children by other parents. I came out looking as if I was only arguing as I have to collect from time to time - arghhhhh - rant over !!!
give them a lift play classical music in the car sing at the top of your voice insist on calling your child sweetie in front of their mates and they will never ask for a lift ever again lol
Because the bus fare is £3.50 a day he saves £2.50 of it and spends the £1 on a snack for the journey home. His friend lives quite close and they go together.
peri,
the next time you get your channel changed in the car, you say, hang on! I was listening to that! Or!! Second option, you wait for them to change it, leave it a min or two and you do the same and say, but you do it to me? Often!!
