[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Will your child go directly to school from practice? Or home for a while first? If the former, see if there’s an older teen who lives nearby and is driving to practice then school that your child can get a ride with. Make a plan to give them some gas money. If the latter, see if you can find another parent who either likes early mornings or is willing to alternate with you.

Carpools and rides were the only way I could make it work as a swimmer whose parents hated early mornings/couldn’t do all that driving due to their work schedules. It seems like fewer people do carpools nowadays and I’m not sure why. [/quote]

You're not sure why fewer people do carpools nowadays? It's because of people like you, who just find it inconvenient to do any driving and constantly ask for favors and expect others to cart their kids around. I'd love carpools where both sides are able and willing to do the driving, but for reasons of convenience we team up. In most cases though it's that one family just can't get their life together and expect others to pick up the slack.[/quote]

Nowhere in my post did I say that I don’t reciprocate in a carpool. I was talking about my own experience growing up where my parents did their share. It sounds like you have a real problem trusting people and getting along. Maybe if you had a bigger social circle you would find the families who do their part in a carpool. [/quote]
