My mum must have been cruel then because I was always just left to fend for myself and walk to school alone, even though I didn’t have any friends at first at high school my mum didn’t drive anyway and I would have been mortified if she had walked me thereI can relate on this. I took my daughter to school for ages because it was all new, she was going where she knew no one. I always get parents numbers of who’s house she is going to and she’s 15 Her friends mums are the same and I’d actually say I was one of the more relaxed. Don’t forget we’ve had COVID and where these kids would often build that up over time, they’re behind.
it was just the whole way she was talking about her going to her friends, it sounded like she was talking about a much younger child. I get the whole covid thing, but I do think Katie does wrap the kids up too much, they are very sheltered.
maybe I see it differently as I grew up in a deprived area and I was always very street wise.
