After 5 emails about kids, schedule, curriculum etc Mom emails me a lengthy email about how I live close to #5 bus and she can bring the kids via the bus and back every day. Sounds like a great way to save gas and time I am thinking... I re-read her email over and over b/c something doesn't seem right. Then it hits me. If she gets OFF the bus and walks the kids to my door (bus stops across the street) then she would have to wait for another #5 bus to pick her up. I have never been on the city bus so I have no idea the timeline for the next bus but I can already tell something is up.
I email her back today and ask if she is expecting me to take all my kids outisde 2 times a day, once to get her girls off the bus and once to put them back on at the end of the day. I immediately explain that this would never work for me and would limit our daily communication to um... NONE!
She replys, "If you are ON the route, I would be on the bus with the kids, and then they would get off and walk to your house (as in less than a block). If that isn't possible than I don't think it will work, as I won't be able to guarentee that I can drop them off at 7:30 and get to work by 8, and then leave work at 5 and get to your place by 5:30. So, no, I wouldn't be getting off with them, as the next bus doesn't pass for another half an hour, at which point I'm half an hour late for work."
I will never understand some people. Good thing this got worked out via email BEFORE I wasted my time with an interview and/or she just tossed them off the bus the first day. :
