Do you have kids in three different schools now with a ninth grader? Had that for years. Ugh.Since the youngest hit high school, at least just for school (but not conflicting activities), I am off of taxi duty with kids in one school and one old enough to drive them. Maybe yours just take the bus? It was a mile walk to catch a bus here. Mine are both in marching band so they can get there at 7:00 a.m. on their own.
We are at 3 schools, in 2 years we will be in 4 different schools. Luckily all the schools are within blocks of each other. The bus stops right across from our house, so everyone takes the bus. Except the 9th grader will have lifting or practice at 6:30a or earlier 2-3 days a week during volleyball. Marching band is during the school day. There are quite a few classmates who either have their school permit or have an older sibling in school with them. We are the taxi for her for at least another 5 months.
Thankfully my kids wanted their licenses as soon as possible. And husband's facts of life talks probably means we'll never have grandkids.
