[quote=Anonymous]Flame away.  I am wondering what parents who participate (willing to drive, host, etc.) do about parents not willing to participate.  It is really obvious to a point of humor, at this point.

To elaborate, DC tends to want a playdate, or does activities with, certain children.  Half of the parents are amazing, and are more than willing to do their share of driving, hosting, etc.  The other half may as well be radio silence; letting anyone who is nice enough be the doormat.  It gets old, quick.

I am well aware you teach people how to treat you, blah, blah, blah......If anyone has any *constructive plans* to put into action, I would appreciate it.  Before anyone assumes so, there are no exigent circumstances, excuses or reasons other than sheer laziness, unfortunately.  The problem is, my child asks for their child, and the other parents know this and take full advantage.  Let's just say, I would choose other friends, if it were me.

As an example, four DC, including mine, signed up for an activity.  I won't say which one, because it is not relevant.  The issue at hand is that two of the same parents step forward each time, and two refuse.  If one of the two participating parents drop out (they might, they are tired and just prefer to drive themselves), it would be all on the one parent.  Who BTW, would be more than willing, given their nature.  But the fact that the parents that participate are willing to, should not excuse the two parents that are not willing to participate.  Make sense?

I am tempted to also just drive ourselves.  The parents who refuse to participate, again, know that DC wants to see their friends, however.  Do I have to play hard ball?  WWYD?
