For so many of those reasons that you listed, I hated that daily commute. I swore my kids would never ride the bus but when we moved here this summer, so many parents told me how great and beloved the neighborhood bus driver was and that I should at least give it a shot. Since Jillian was begging to ride, I tried it. (Actually, J. put her on the bus one morning while I was sleeping in and very pregnant...sneaky guy!) For now, she loves it and is the first on and the first off so I'm letting her ride but I'm prepared to re-evaluate! Oh, I hated the bus, too.

Shame on the bus driver for letting this stuff go on and not taking their responsibility seriously. Not too long ago there was a case in our town where the bus driver got fired for ignoring behavior that was inappropriate to girls. I remember hating to ride the bus as well. You described it to a T!

But as a "fat girl," I remember well the taunts. Your post brought an avalanche of early unpleasant memories. Happily, though, the good days that followed successfully relegated those days to the back burner of my mind. Some might call it repression.
