[quote=Anonymous]DD 15 is a Sophomore and participates in a sport that has summer practices, fundraising activities, etc.

Much of this takes place daily during July/August during my work hours (8a-5:30p) taking place at times like  8:30am, 10:30, 11am, 1pm, etc so DD has asked friends if she can ride to/from with them.

The parents on the team are not as open as you’d imagine which has been common as we entered the high school years; more hands off - there isn’t mingling or talking to other parents and are very much a “hi/bye” type of crowd. No one seems to know each other or want to know each other on the adult side. I’d love to get to know the parents better but it seems that the group overall isn’t that interested in mingling.The coaches schedule around their own work hours as well.

I am not sure if I should encourage this type of asking others for rides or getting a ride there without a solid ride home determined which has happened a few times this week. Albeit she does have the uber app downloaded when we realized all the activities for the sport are during work hours.

Is this what independence is? What it means to be resourceful? [/quote]
