I drive my girls to go to school on post every morning, and I pick them up every afternoon. You know what, it doesn’t matter where I take them because I’m sure this is an everyday problem. When I get into that line to drop them off in the drop-off/pick-up zone I expect just that to happen. So to all the parents out there getting out of your car to open the car door for your little mutant, or chatting it up with your friend, teacher etc. I want to tell you that you’re an ass! f your child needs assistance out of the car, then use the parking lot, it’s like ten feet away from the front of the building. Don’t sit and chat you have a line of cars behind you and the universe doesn’t circle around you. Tell them to call you and move your damned minivan out of my way, I have places to be!

Also to those who drive through there like a bat out of hell, slow down! There are children walking around. I understand you just dropped off your spawn and want to cherish every minute they are not around you whining. I feel ya! I want to get home to a nice cup of coffee and see what old Matt and Al are up to too. Just slow down, you’ll get there, it tastes just as good two minutes from now. This goes for the parking lots at gymnastics too. Get away from the front of the door, park and walk your lazy ass up to the door and gather your child. People do need to drive through that area you are not special! Believe me I was there when they handed out the title for Center of the Universe, and you didn’t get it. You weren’t even a runner up!

Wow I’m an angry “soccer mom”.
