[quote=Anonymous]The simplest way is to just answer "No, I'm not interested in carpooling." If you feel that is too blunt, you can say something like "Sorry, but we may not be going directly home after camp some days and so can't commit to carpooling." I've often added errands to either end of trips out of the house helped to stop people taking advantage of me being willing to drive kids. The busy parents all do this, by combining trips out of the house, so it should be familiar to them and is a plausible explanation for why you don't want extra kids with you. My kids are old enough that I can stop by a store and leave them in the car in the parking lot with a tablet while I run inside. Something I am not willing to do with someone else's kids.[/quote]
