Alert | In my defense...I don't see anything wrong with my child/children walking to the bus stop and/or standing at the bus stop by themselves. However, I lived in the Villages and my daughter gained some good friendships with the other children on the bus. Since we moved out of my parents house (God bless us) we are in a new neighborhood with new kids.
When we moved, I looked into having my daughter ride the bus from our new neighborhood, Homestead. After researching the bus routes and some much heated debate with my husband, I decided not to allow my child to ride the bus from Homestead. She is only in middle school and the bus from here shares with the high school kids. I am not ready for her to be exposed to that age yet. She isn't either. So, the reason I drive my child to the bus stop and wait with her is because I drive her to a completely different neighborhood. | |
Don't argue with an idiot; people watching may not be able to tell the difference.

Alert | and shane, why should all the commuters need to change their daily routine because your precious offspring happens to be in the vicinity of them?
because THEY are the ones with the problem... The parents are doing NOTHING illegal.. I drive down Butterfiled and get the school traffic as well.. I SLOW DOWN when I pass bus stops.. it's common sense.. I probably learned that from growing up in a neighborhood where everyone knew everyone.. (you know, a "village")
Using your logic, maybe people should unsafely drive around school bus's when they are picking up children.. I mean, why should YOU have to stop for a bus picking up someone ELSE'S offsping? God forbid you actually have to co-exist with people who happen to make the choice to have kids.. Your parents did.. but apparently they didn't do a good enough job teaching little Vinny about getting along with others, tolerance and sharing... I blame your parents...maybe they should have lived in a "village-esque" neighborhood instead of sheltering you.. how sad..

And you? You were a Marine? You are a Marine? Check out the man's signature, heed it, and try not speak harshly about what you cannot understand! Maybe you are really ashamed that you are a thin skinned civilian? Maybe you are ashamed that you haven't served yourself? At least Marines speak their mind, without shame. Semper Fi AzSandSlinger.

Alert | | Heaven forbid your kids have to walk from the bus stop to your house right around the corner!!! Oh the poooorrrr little things.....Society has dealt them such a bad hand that they actually have to walk...If your driving them to and from the corner, why dont you just drive them all the way to school!!! You would probably use less gas that way instead of ideling the car for 10-15 minutes because it's sooooo cold out. Brrrrrr I cant belive how much snow we have had this year..Oh wait it doesn't even get cold enough to snow here.... | | | |

LOL... Maybe the reason you don't understand the problem is because you aren't the one pulling out to turn onto Butterfield... You are already on IT!
I think you need to read a little more of the previous post.. than maybe you will get it.

Just doing it one day at a time. Change is good and it should be looked upon as an improvment! not a problem.

Alert | | i agree the bus stop parking is out of hand. there some places in senita where you cant even get through to get to the main road because of the cars. oh and yes parking too close to a stop sign is against the law moron. | | | |

Alert | | I live in the Desert Passage Community. We have parents that drive their kids to the bus stop, including me. I park on a side street away from the main road. However, we have a few idiots who drive around the corners like they are Nascar drivers and almost hit the kids on the sidewalks. We also have idiots in our neighborhood who complain to the school district because they work 2nd or 3rd shift and by the time they get home they can't sleep because of the kids at the bus stop make too much noise. Well excuse me that you aren't getting your beauty sleep. I work 2nd shift, don't get home until 2 AM. I only get 4 hours or sleep, if that, before I have to get up and get my child ready to head to the bus stop. So YES I drive my child to the bus stop. There is no law barring me from doing that. So quit your b**ching and complaining and deal with it. I can't believe you actually started a forum on this subject in the first place. | |

Alert | Don't be all proud that you 'only get 4 hours of sleep', they ARE YOUR kids afterall. I love it when people brag about doing stuff THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO DO. And your kids do make too much noise at the bus stop, but since you aren't the one trying to sleep, it is not a big deal to you. You should raise your kids to respect other people, unlike yourself. | | | |

Alert | | Wow RichTig, you thought I was bragging about not getting any sleep. Out of my entire post you commented only on the sleep part. So that must mean that you are one of those Nascar wannabes that drives fast around the corners even if the kids are there. Oh yeah and my kid is not the one making the noise since I DRIVE him to the bus stop so put the blame there just because i was venting. My child knows how to respect people and what do you know, he learned that from me (the bad mom that I am)!! I have a right as much as you do to vent on here like everyone else. And from reading your posts under other catergories, it seems that you are the one who needs learn to respect other people. | |
