Parents blocking driveway

[Other Mummy]

This is one of my biggest peeves as well I rewrote my policy book years ago to include "no blocking the driveway". If I see a parent on their cell phone I will walk the child out to the car and hand them over, tell them good night and send them on their way. I've done this twice to a previous client. They did not do that a third time.

If someone needs to make a cell call or text or whatever....I ask them to do it on the street and NOT block my driveway. Not to mention their kiddo is fully aware that they are out there.

A while back we were playing outside when dad came for pick up (they live a block away so he came with empty stroller). He was on the phone with a friend (he doesn't work so it wasn't work related). He walked up with stroller, no hello or anything, kept talking. The child (2.5yrs) crawled in the stroller, did her buckle and away they went.

I stood there thinking - you haven't seen your toddler in 8.5hrs and she doesn't even get a hello! Sad.

...and a hello/thanks to you would've been nice as well. Geez!!
