[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]I will admit that I would be annoyed if I asked a neighbor to take my child somewhere she was going anyway, and my neighbor just refused on principle.[/b]  And of course you can ask people to return the favor, OP.  For most people adding another child in the car on the way to dance class or the soccer game really isn’t a big deal.  [/quote]

We have done so and it was because the kid was a huge brat. Sorry if that was your kid and you were annoyed!  :lol: [/quote]

Well, that's a different situation, isn't it? Did you [b]TELL them[/b] that was the reason? Or just secretly judge them and their kid, and revel in how clever you were to pull one over on them?[/quote]

DP  Why on earth would the pp tell you that your kid is a brat?  I'm sure you know this already!  It is not the pp's job to tell you the obvious nor is it her job to drive your child.  How awkward would it be as neighbors if you were told that your kid is a brat.  Most parents wouldn't react well and take it out on the messenger, not the kid.  So if the pp wanted a friendly neighbor vibe that would go out the window because now you really know what they think of your kid.

Who cares if they are silently judging your kid?  If you don't know about it than it doesn't hurt you?  We all silently judge each other.  The problem is when they share the judgement![/quote]
