[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A family wants me to drive their child home from an activity, and they’ve made it clear that they can’t drive my child. I don’t know the family well. When we have driven, the child has no snacks and shared my child’s packed car dinner. It’s wouldn’t be a carpool, just a ride. It adds time to my drive for an activity that ends close to bedtime.

I’m thinking about the recent unreciprocated carpool vent thread. Would it be rude to ask for gas and toll money? Or a supply of car snacks or something? I live in a place with variable tolling but it would cost ~$8/drive 2x/week plus gas.[/quote]

Can you share, as much as possible, the wording they used when they made this request? That would inform my answer.

Because to me it's just kind of mind-boggling that someone would ask something this. Have they shown kindness and graciousness in any ways through the time you've known them as team parents? Like, did they ever send or pay for a snack for the whole team? The times that you drove their child, are they incredibly grateful? [/quote]
