A Whole New Level Of Freaking Out
The discussion has come up a few times since our son started school several weeks back. However, I never actually thought we'd follow through on it until our son asked about riding the big yellow bus a few days ago.
I want Future Bam to experience going to school on a bus like I did as a kid because it can be fun when your that age. However, getting up an hour early so that you can ride the bus less than 2 miles to school is not ideal. So we will see how that goes. And, of course, being the kind of worrier that I am I can think of all kinds of worst case scenarios about FB riding the bus. Go ahead and call me crazy.
I realize that I'm freaking out over something that some parents don't think twice about.
For those of you that allow your children to ride the bus, do you call the school to make sure they arrived safely or are we just supposed to wait it out and hope that our child is there when we go to pick them up 7 hours later? I'm not sure I can do the latter without losing my mind.

My oldest daughter just started kindergarten in August and is practically begging to ride the school bus! However, we live about two miles from school AND we are car pooling with my neighbor. So far I've been able to distract her from the big yellow bus. :)
Good luck..I'm sure I'll be dealing with this in the next year or two!
p.s. you could always follow the bus to the school...one of my co-worker's sister's does that with her little guy!
I can so see why you are worried... I would be so scared to let my kids get on the bus not knowing what's gonna happen with them next. But I guess it gets easier when you just let your kid go and experience riding the bus. He'll tell you all about it so you'll soon get a better feeling about it. And if you really don't feel good about it just explain it to your son and find another way to get him to school safely.
I dont think it's abnormal to worry about that. I bet most parents do call or even follow it the first few times. At least I would. lol
I'd worry about it, too. I'll probably be one of those moms following the bus. Julia is only three and already gets excited when she sees the big yellow bus go by our house each day. She can't wait to ride it. And I'll let her, but I'll be right behind it!
