Redjam, I think you must be a very caring parent. However I can tell you now my husband never once did any of these things, and I only did a very occasional assembly once a year. I never took forgotten things in. Never had a sick child to collect etc. But part of that was working in town and not being available. I can't help but think that the more available you are the more you are called upon. Of course I know lots of parents that have also had to do all these additional journeys. You are not alone.
