why should dad have to run? He was not the problem.
My wife considered her driving our three kids to school a privilege for them. When they abused that privilege with their mouths or behavior, out they went. A nice 1 mile walk to school did wonders for their attitude and all three are now wonderful, quality, young adults.
And no, she didn’t walk with them.
I walked almost a mile to and then from high school. A couple of times, I took off walking in inclement weather, and my dad picked me up halfway there as he took my brothers to school. (wimps! - lol!)
