[quote=Anonymous]Text the other parent and sort it out together, obviously. "Hi, Jane. Larlo is sick and won't be attending practice. Can we switch days for carpool or if you've already got other plans I can still pick up your son and drop him at the soccer field." Sure, if OP's child is 5 she can't leave him home alone but if her own sick child is 9 or older she can likely leave him for a bit if she still needs to fulfill her commitment to the other family. Chances are Jane will say she hopes Larlo feels better and will drive her own child. For whatever reason, it might be the case that she cannot flex her schedule so either will (a) have her son also skip practice, (b) ask you to drive, or (c) send a message to all the families on the team and say "help, any chance someone could swing by and pick up my kid today?". Normal people work this out, and I've seen all of these happen. [/quote]
