Ok started my school run yesterday. I collect a child from my local school which i'd say was about 10/15 mins walk if that, but with toddlers walking probably more to the 15 mins.
Yesterday I had just my dd & took her in her pram. Well we set off & it was lovely, got to the playground waiting & it went gray & to say the heavens opened is an understatement - It rained so hard we had rain running down our faces.
Luckily dd had raincover on her pram, I had no coat so was soaked to the bone, poor mindee was drenched. I had no way of sheltering her either
I am now bothered that on a Wed, Thurs & Fri I will have my part timer who's turning 2 in Oct. I also have baby of 5 months starting at the end of Sept, of course my dd to get to school - no prob as double buggy & either 2 yr old mindee or my dd can walk or 1 walk 1 way & then change. But coming home obviously school mindee aswell.
I can't fit them all in my car - so when its pooring down, at least 2 & myself are going to get drenched.
I guess i'm just wanting to know how it affects those of you that do school runs & don't drive to do it, what do parents feel about their children getting so wet?
Sorry for the big ramble btw
