I have severe clinically diagnosed anxiety and I used to force myself on the bus so that I could take my little one out on adventures! Now I drive and I absolutely hate that too but again, I did it so we could have some freedom!I remember her saying she cant get the bus because they run off or something. But they arent going to learn how to act on a bus if they never go on one and spend every day in the flat.
Take your kids out on your own ffs. Quite happy to go on nights out and 'influencer' meetings but taking your kids out? No chance.
