    It’s not like we drive our kids to the bus stop and then sit in the car until they get on the bus.

        I think that’s more about being lazy. You have to make sure the bus actually comes because every once in a while, it doesn’t, but most people don’t want to stand to wait to make sure the bus came.

      When I was a kid living at home, there was a father who would walk with his two daughters to the bus stop and wait with them there until they got on the bus.

      One day a woman came along in her car, slipped into a diabetic coma, and veered towards them.

      The father managed to throw one daughter to safety before he and his other daughter were hit.

      He survived, but he was left with a limp. You’d still see him walking his surviving daughter to the bus stop in the morning.
