hahah you hit the teacher! Man there have been times I wanted to do that when my son was in primary school.
I was a terror of a teenager and my mum always said exactly the same thing to me LOL "wait till you have your own kids then i wanna here you talk" But so far I reckon I must be doing a better job than her haha, touch wood. But then she had 2 of her own and 3 step children, all teenagers at one stage. Plus then had 2 more babies... And there 3 more older stepkids as well. 10!!! Fuck that.
I don't know if where I live is heaps different to where you are Stu but my girl started walking on her own to school at about 10, maybe 9. I thought it was good to give her some independence. When there was a couple of abductions near here I almost panicked but I didn't want my kids to be paranoid so I just gave her the stranger talk again and let her keep going. The footpaths here are pretty busy with people out for exercise and most of the houses belong to retirees so I figure its not too bad.
This year she has to take a bus and the other day she missed it so I called her a cab. Thats when I got a bit worried and sms'd her all morning till she replied and told me she was at school lol.
