[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can't read all these responses. My mom was a lame driver and I was so appreciative of the many families who ignored my mom's issues and included me. Today I am a giver. I drive everyone and known as the person who hosts. I realize so people are selfish mean whatever and some people are overwhelmed. What I do to make myself sane is I do what I feel I can and let the rest go. OP you should too. Life is too short to get angry over non reciprocated playdates and carpools.[/quote]

\What do you mean, a "lame driver"? Lazy, unwilling to drive?  What were her "issues"?[/quote]

My mom had issues. Now I realize she had some mental health stuff but then she just came across as unresponsible with pick up and drop off..was late..really late all the time. There was always some problem. My point is that I was a good kid and my friends parents realized this and didn't put me through the wringer because my mom wasn't responsible. Boy did I appreciate that. Next time you think of kicking out a kid..a good kid from the carpool think about this. Too often people are petty sort of the world we live. Those moms from when I grew up were a classy bunch. There was no gossip nothing nasty. Just a oh "sally" why don't we get you today and tell your mom not to worry. It was so subtle, no one was looking for an award, just wanted things to work out. I think about that now. I do host a lot and am super responsible but I don't act like it's a big deal. It isn't. There are big problems in the world and my having to make an extra stop is not one of them. The realization of this makes me a happy non dramatic person and I hope I pass this on to my child.[/quote]
