I was 4 days per week on pick up and all day on 1 day a week until my health let me down. I am lucky they are now a bit older and I only do a full day on 1 day and the rest on an as needed basis. When they're 15 they don't want a babysitter.

That's a fair comment gransal 
. Did you do it often or everyday because for me, it will be everyday no doubt.
Hi there!!
Er why would you not? They are 5!
Are you pehaps overthinking this?
And it’s now british summer time so probably freezing for another few weeks!
Zip them up op!
Hi ladies, I am a newbie here so first, I will tell you a little bit about myself .
I am a grandma to twin 5yr old girls that are very active, they do Gymnastics and Highland Dancing.
My daughter is a single parent so that means that I pick the girls up from school due to the fact that she works.
One thing I have noticed this winter when I have picked them up is that, no matter what the weather, they come out with jackets wide open so I have to ask them to zip their jackets up, but, apparently they get it done for them by my daughter so, should I do the same or am I right to get them doing it themselves?
