[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just tell her that you don't have time to run errands. Do you not want to drive her at all? Then don't plan outings that are further than walking distance to her house.[/quote]

I mean I definitely don't mind picking her up from her house or wherever she needs to be picked up from and then taking her to wherever we are going to hangout but I don't want to have to take her on errands like the ATM, convenience stores, grocery stores etc...

I live 45 minutes away from her but when we first met and because friends I lived 10 minutes away. Does this make me sound like a terrible friend?[/quote]

OP, you don't owe it to her to drive her to do her errands. I can't imagine having time for this. Next time she asks, just let her know that you're tired or aren't in the mood for errands or whatever. You can offer to drop her off at the store instead of home. Since you sound close, you can ask her why she doesn't drive. It may be anxiety, but she needs to figure out another way to another way to get her errands done, like public transportation.

I wonder how this impacts her kids. Most other parents aren't going to pick up the slack for every ride to activities, all the shuttling back and forth for play dates, etc.[/quote]
