[quote=Anonymous]Carpools are great, but it is not other families' responsibility to cart your kids around. We plan our kids' activities and any paid support so that it is possible for one person to execute the week alone. Maybe it is hard, maybe you need to take PTO to make pick up and drop off, but it is possible. If there is a need to go two directions at the same time, IMO, you need paid or unpaid support that is not simply a carpool. I am more than happy to help people out but I personally a not comfortable imposing on another family by making them my permanent activities transportation or childcare plan unless there is true reciprocity in the arrangement. Two working parents where one is travelling like that should be able to afford childcare to cover gaps.[/quote]
