I've got three daughters - and the youngest is at secondary school.
This is how it goes...
Age 5 - 7 Daddy daddy take me to school and pick me up!
Age 7 - 9 Dad take me to school and pick me up!
Age 10 - 11 Give me a lift to and from school but park round the corner so my mates don't see you are a *window cleaner/our car/our van
Age 11/12 I'll make my own way to school and back
Age 13/14 If you are seen within five miles of my school I'll die of embarrassment!
Age 15 You can pick me up if you park round the corner
Age 16 Hi Dad! These are my friends. Hi friends this is my Dad!
Friends: "What's a Dad?"
You know it's almost true ...
