Okay parents, we want you to level with us…
A lot goes down in the school drop-off zone, doesn’t it?
Drama, intrigue, tantrums, you name it!
I knew I was right about this one!
And now we’re gonna hear about it from parents who are living it! Take a look!
1. Work smarter.
Pay attention, people!
If you don’t pick your pajamas based on whether or not you can wear them to kindergarten drop off in the morning, you’re working harder, not smarter.

2. The line never ends…
It’s like Hell on Earth.
Commute to school – 3 minutes
Wait in the drop off line – 3-4 business days.

3. You’re not embarrassing her at all.
Keep it up!
I like to yell I love you really loud when I drop off my 10-year-old at school. By the way she rolls her eyes I think she really enjoys it.

4. Not gonna happen!
It’s about to get real.
I will connect my car to the bumper of the car in front of me before I let you cut in the school drop off line.

5. Are you talking about yourself?
It sure sounds like it…
I can’t believe I have to say this but there’s no prize for being first in the kids school drop off line. You don’t need to get there 45 mins earlier to show everyone how awesome a parent you are. Let someone else be first, like I don’t know, a Dad who’s 12 mins late everyday.

6. I think you’re right.
Every man and woman for themselves!
I’m now 100% convinced that the Mad Max concept is based on school parking lots during drop off.

7. Keep it moving!
Nothing to see here!
Long goodbyes.
Warm embraces.
Sweet chit chat.
Lingering gazes.
Multiple I love you’s.These life moments are NOT for the school drop off line.
Let’s move it, people.

8. Let’s hope so…
Good luck out there!
May your kids find both shoes, the drop off lines be short and your coffee stay hot

9. Thank God…
You gotta look at least halfway normal.
Cheers to sunglasses and knotless braids for helping me look like a normal person at drop-off.

10. It’s pretty ugly.
Our country is in a freefall.
The elementary school drop off line does not fill me with hope for our society.
— Rachel Vindman (@natsechobbyist) August 31, 2021
11. Ouch. Burn!
That’s rough.
Me: Do you like it better when I drop you off at school or when you take the bus?
9-year-old: The bus.
Me: Why?
9: The bus has my friends. Your van just has you.

12. Take it down a notch.
And mind your own business!
To the mom in the dropoff line who SPRINTED over to me to yell that I’m not allowed to get out my car to help my kids put their 100 lb backpack in the car:
Maybe it’s time to switch to decaf

Now we want to hear from more parents.
Tell us about your school drop-off stories in the comments.
We look forward to it!
