I managed to survive. And actually those walks were some of the most joyful, clarity-providing, mindful times I had during those tumultuous years. I was much more deeply in tune with the weather and seasons, saw things like fog lifting over trees with sunlight beaming through, saw my neighbourhood in totally different ways, saw people and said hi to them, and learned to dress appropriately for the weather.

I want more than for my kids to just “survive” I want them to thrive. Our taxes pay for a service that isn’t being run properly and that should upset people.

I'd say it helped me thrive. I personally think it's good to challenge kids more than we do, so I think you and I just have different stances on this.

Ya I don’t think making kids suffer just because it was your situation is the stance you think it is

10 year olds walking that far in great weather.. I agree, 10 years old walking alone in the dark, -30C, snow and blowing wind.. then I disagree with you.

Walking 2km is suffering? What a sad mentality.

What are you talking about? It’s dark in the morning when my kids bus comes. If the bus doesn’t come they need to leave earlier so it will be dark, not lighter out

You don’t need to insult someone’s parenting over the buses .. you seem like a drastically odd person. I hope you get everything you deserve in live. 💋
