Its such a blessing to have another parent you can rely on with your kids in school
Me and wife's worst nightmare is that our daughter is at school after packup and we cant make it on time. My daughter started school about 2 to 3 months ago and mostlyyy i take her on the cargo bike. Takes around 5 to 8 minutes.
Theres a boy in her class who lives on our street. his mum walks him every day. One morning we were all heading out at the same time and he asked if he could ride with us. His mum looked at me like is there room?? because hes a bit bigger than my daughter and my daughter was already sitting on child seat so there wasntt much room.
Theres a cushion next to the seat on the rear rack so i said lets try it. He climbed on and put his feet on the footrests and he started waving bye bye to his mom lol. I told his mother I could take him if it was okay with him. So she agreed.
Now it happened a month ago. But now whenever we see them in the morning he gives his mum the look and she just goes fine go. happens a few times a week.
But I like that I got to know them because now its become a two way thing. His mum picks both kids up on afternoons when me and my wife cant make it…and we take her son on mornings when shes running behind or has an early appointment. Also since she is a single mom so we really feel happy for making a difference.
Last week my wife had a work emergency and i was stuck in traffic. I texted his mum and she had both kids home and fed by the time i got there. I nearly cried in the car mann. Knowing someone else has your kid and you trust them is huge.
