Parent Dropping Off Right At Bus Run Time

[5 Little Monkeys]

My entrance is small too so I understand that but I think I'd prefer drop off at this time vs 15 mins prior. The child is already dressed and ready to go I assume? One less kid for you to get ready!

Mom can send child in, hang up backup if needed, say bye and than you and the group are ready to head out!

If she slips back into the later time, I'd just ask he comes dressed in full gear

Glad your reminder to her helped with her drop off time. I agree if she is going to drop off at the time you do bus run the child needs to be ready to go.

I have a rule that if they arrive within the 15 mins before we leave for the school run, they have to dress their child themselves in the winter gear. My own kids have been late for school many times due to unprepared parents. In the winter it takes longer for the school walk, so I have them in my garage and strapped into the stroller earlier with the front door locked, so if a parent arrives, they have to get ready fast, or we leave. No discussion. Once they get left behind once, they learn their lesson. The parent must dress the child, and be ready to go. You can't have the kids miss the bus!

Well as far as I'm concerned this parent knows the provider does a bus run so be there on time with the kid ready to go or wait till the provider comes back .... It will only take one or two times of a parent being inconvenienced for them to get it together but until it interferes with their schedule nothing will change
