Pat's Schoolhouse

[scoobydoo]

I'm now contemplating school bus too Now that dd has moved over to the \"real\" childcare side, they do not serve dinner, and by the time we get home and finish with her dinner, it's already 9pm. Furthermore, dd is not a fast eater...food in, chew, chew, talk, talk, 5 mins later food is still in mouth :roll:

So I thought of school bus to send her my mum's house for dinner and then we pick her up on our way home.

Lucky you. I've got no one to serve kiddo dinner...

Not a confirmed plan yet, as I’ve not talked to my mum about it yet. Ever since my dad passed on, my mum seldom cooks as my brother buys dinner back. So it will be kinda troublesome for her to cook just for my girl. Also not keen to impose on her as she’s already 73.

So how have you been coping with your boy’s dinner this week ?

Normally, he's a junk kid. :roll: We pick him up after work, go ta-bao dinner, and try to give him some. Even on weekends, we normally eat out...so as and when we can, we find fish porridge for him...else, it would be the usual fried rice blah blah...

Hihi thks for all your inputs.

$200 is PER MONTH for one way, two way is incremental of $250.
I am staying at upper thomson, not very far from Halifax.
not sure if the bus company is taking advantage that Pat’s is somewhat a premier school and therefore the clients shouls be able to pay!
Anyway, like many of you, i cannot guarantee that i can knock off at 6pm sharp and be able to fetch my kids by 6.30pm.
so that’s why got to resort to school bus…
sigh, very high cost!

I gather you'll be putting your kid at No. 9 ? The 6.30pm time is just a guide, I don't think they strictly implement it. The norm is usually 7pm.

We're not much better, we order tingkat dinner, so now she's sharing dinner with us.

THks Scoobydoo, I will take note of that.

7pm sounds better, consistent with the other child care centers.
