[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m OP.  To answer the PP question: the original request was a one-off that was probably right after the other kid left the team. Then it became one ask per week, which I rarely said yes to because the summer was busy. Then it was quiet during pool cleaning.

The most recent time they asked was at the start of the new season in front of the rest of the practice group at dropoff, saying that their child couldn’t stay on the team without a ride home and since we lived close they needed a ride. I said I wouldn’t be able to do it regularly but would help when I could. Now I am sitting on a text from them saying that they have to drive the older sibling to soccer during pickup time during the school year and that they need a carpool and will we drive younger child home from practice this year? But not to worry because younger child already has a ride to practice.[/quote]

The parents need to figure this out.  Tell then thanks for reaching out but you are unable to provide transportation for their child and hope they are able to find a way to make it work.  Do not go into details and if they argue tell them to have a good evening and block the,  if they van get one kid to soccer they can figure this out or change teams for better times for them.  It should not cost you time and money with nothing in return when your kids are not friends.

We have had this happen several times.  They call it a carpool with us doing all the work.  No.  [/quote]
