Re: Parents at the school
took them to school only once, on their first day?
Nope. But, in my case, I had 3 older brothers - who all went to the same school as me (the oldest one was 5 years ahead of me) so I had plenty of escort to school.
Of course, once I got a pushbike (when I was about 10), I cycled to school by myself. And up the biggest hill in my borough :-(
Mum went back to work as a nurse fairly early on (when I was about 7) as we needed the second wage. (My parents had 4 growing boys and two sets of parents to support).
