[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How do you handle it?

Other mom is constantly asking me to have her kid over, drive her kid places, pick up her kid with mine. I don't micromanage my kids social life so usually deflect and say kids can figure out visiting plans, but the driving is trickier.

Kids are 12 and friend is an only child with some attitude issues that don't mesh with our family. Mom never says thank you. Sometimes my kid enjoys this friend but often wants distance.

Example: friend came over afterschool. Mom asked me to bring friend to her dance class. No thank you when I obliged.

Example: both kids are at a sleepover 30 minutes away. Mom asks me to pick up her daughter when I pick up mine. House is far away, friend in question lives fairly close to us. I would rather not deal with her kid. Mom has no circumstances other than laziness and generally seems to ignore her kid. Never any reciprocity. I don't particularly want to. Do I just say no?

OP, to me, this is the most important line in your post. Can you imagine having to deal with a mother like this, especially as an only child? [/quote]
