What is your group like?

I just hated the amount of time spent on just the one child at the expense of the others. When you figured the time from diaper change to dressing to bus stop and back twice a day it was over an hour of wasted time in the sense that stuffed into a wagon in the rain or not moving around in -35 weather is not good. Also doing it for 5 plus is different than just a couple too based on length of time. When we go outside I want the kids to be able to actually play. Also city buses come earlier so we would need to be at the bus stop for 3:15 and mine nap till then. When my own kids were little I did it cause I had to now I leave it up to other parents with school age kids and I focus on the needs of toddlers. Many of the kids I have gotten into care have come because I don't have to do school runs. I just do not feel safe on the side of a barely or not even plowed road with a wagon of toddlers. Too much responsibility. No room to get the kids off the road either as neighbours don't like their yards becoming playgrounds and who can blame them.

I agree. I have done it and will never again.
