So here's the update for those interested.
My kid had a shitty day.
She cried all day long and longed for her momma to be with her.
They changed her bus driver, to a MAN, a MAN I do not know.
Alone in a bus with a man.
and with his tone of voice and eagerness (insert sarcasm here)
there is no chance in hell.
I picked her up. She was sweaty and teary. She was sitting in her old classroom.
Poor kid.
Today she clung onto me for dear life as we stood waiting for the bell.
She wheeled off with a pout.
I hope things go better for all of us.
