School runs

Hi all,

I''ve always done the school runs as I work from home.
We are selling the marital home and getting our own places.

She now wants to have a hand in school runs.

The problem is she would need to drop our son off at 08:00 when his school starts at 08:45.

Is this acceptable or is it even acceptable for her to drop him off at me and I''ll do the school run. She can never pick him up as she finishes work too late. Or should I just push for alternative weekends and ignore these requests ?

I feel she''s only doing this to lessen the amount of CSA she would need to pay.

Any advice on this ?

Thanks

Of course it''s acceptable that Mum does some of the school runs.

It''s important that parents with limited time with their children are able to be as fully involved in their children''s lives as possible, and do the day-to-day stuff with them; collecting from/dropping off at school is one example. it also enables that parent to have regular contact with the school that they may not otherwise have.

Most schools have breakfast clubs or similar - is this something that your son''s school has?

The issue I have is she has not done this for over 2 year now even though she didn''t work !

His last 2 teachers have never met/seen his mum.

THen maybe it''s time she met the teachers and became more involved

True.

My son doesn''t want to do morning clubs (he''s 10)
Does this make any difference ?

Hi,
Its a different world today, when I was 10, I did what I was told.

I have a similar aged child, when his mother does the school run, sometimes he goes into the breakfast club, he would probably prefer not to, but its a good lesson that in life you sometimes have to do thinks you don''t want to.
