While it 'takes a village to raise a child', not everybody in the neighbourhood wants to be roped into parenting a stranger's kid. But that's exactly what happened to one mum who was ordered to 'wake up' her neighbour's son every morning before collecting him for the school run.
Taking to Reddit, the mum explained how she joined a carpool with two other mums to make the school pick up and drop off that bit easier on them all. She said: "Two of my kids, aged 14 and 16, are in high school this year. But because we're not far enough away for the bus to take them, I drive them or they ride their bikes.
"Before the term started, I was asked by another parent in the area if I would join a small carpool, my two kids, a set of twins in the same year as my oldest, and one kid in the year between mine. I said I could drive to school on Tuesday and Thursday, and I can pick up on Wednesday and Friday. There are two other parents who drive the other three days."
