She could have posted anything on here. Why is it up to you to check the validity of the thread?

Just wanted to know the reasoning for my own benefit, I could respond in many different ways depending on why your questioning the route.  And why not get people stirred up in the interim, easiest way to see if there is a legitimate concern, also makes the thread more fun.. 

Mission accomplished 

All I'm saying is that this lady asked a simple question and didnt deserve an attack like that. The regulars on here know how to take your crap but a newbie may not.

SO I guess the problem with the bus is in the AM? You have ad for afterschool care of other ppls children, stating that the kids will ride the bus to your home. I imagine if you are soliciting care of other kids, you are standing there at the bus stop in the afternoon waiting for them, as well as your own?  I am also guessing that the toddlers that prohibit you from taking your kiddo to the bus stop in the AM must be gone by 3PM, therefore not prohibiting you from making it to the bus stop for the afternoon pick-up?

"My son goes to Joe K and I watch children in my home.  Does anyone need afterschool care for their child?  They would ride the bus to my house and get snack and help with homework if needed.  I charge $50 per week.  You can email me directly if you'd like emilysummer@hotmail.com"

I was wondering about the same thing...

Well I am waiting for an answer...but it doesnt look so good. I mean if she thinks her kiddo isnt safe...how could she possibly think others' kids will be. I am always willing to give the benefit of the doubt...but in the meantime I just had to ask/say something

And I am the a$$ here?

Well, he can't very well pick on a pregnant lady, now can he???

Actually, I thought this section of the forum was for people who wanted to talk about real issues that can possibly be resolved by intellectual conversation.  But I see it's actually for people with way too much time on their hands.

I think you got your answer as Angi stated...It just seems strange to have a very real concern but then to turn around and solicit the care of children putting other ppls kids into the same situation you dont want your kiddo in...surely you can see that? At the very least I do hope you resolve the Bus issue or find a way to work around it, so your kid and other ppls children arent in danger any longer. Good Luck to you and stay safe!
