Sam called from school 20 mins back. Asking for permission to take the public transport home with his friends instead of the school bus!
I wasn't surprise. I gave him an "okay" and checked with him if he knew which bus to take and he said yes. So, i just told him to be careful and call me when he reaches home.
Hubby would flip if i told him about it.. As it is, when Sam told hubby to drop him 1 bus stop away from school yesterday, hubby feels that Sam wanted to "act" macho infront of his friends.. I tried to explain to hubby that it's natural that children of his age will feels shy when the daddy and mummy holds their hands, or bring them to school and things like that, but hubby just didn't seems to get it.. :P
So now if i were to tell hubby that Sam wants to take the public transport home from school on his own, i think Sam will get his shit squeezed out when hubby gets home tonight.. But, oh well, I think we just need to give this young man some leeway on learning how to take care of himself and grow up.. Maybe some "limited" freedom might also do him so good..
Hope Sam reaches home real soon so that i can stop worrying.. :)
