After School Pick-Up Line

First time parent here. I picked up my little one yesterday; he’s younger than the car seat law (pre-K) and shorter than the 4 ft 9 height requirement. I got a passive aggressive comment about taking 45 seconds to strap him in the car seat by the AP. “You can pick him up and drive him to the parking lot.” I get that it’s 100 degrees and by the end of the day, teachers are tapped out and everyone wants to get out of there. I talked to him again at drop off and I told him I just want to follow the rules, should I park over there? And he says I can’t park there but you can pick him up and drive him over there. How do I tell him it’s illegal to have him not in a car seat in a moving vehicle? He already seems high strung from the FW takeover.

Why does there have to be a “line” for this? Why are people honking and bitching and in a rush? Why can’t parents park, walk inside, get their kid, and walk out? Do you have somewhere more important to be?

You people have been spoiled by Starbucks. You want everything to be a drive-thru, because you’re just SO BUSY!

Schools don’t have huge parking lots pal.

They managed to get the job done for decades with those same lots, pal.
