[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can't even juggle with my own 2 kids. I never ask others to help for pickup/dropoff/carpool, and no one will never reach out to me for the same thing as well. That is why I don't belong to some mom group.

I have three kids and every single time I have entered into a carpooling-type arrangement with another family it has started with 1) me suggesting it AND 2) me offering for at least the first time to do the driving.  Eg- "Hey Jane, looks like from the Evite both of our DDs were invited to to Larla's party in BFE on Saturday.  Would you like me to take her?"

I get that the OP could have said no, but I find it pretty galling that the family made this ask of her without offering to do something in return.  No, not everything has to be totally tit-for-tat but if you are asking for a favor you should be ready to offer anything in return.

Also, I know everyone likes to hate on ppl with three kids but I definitely do more than my share of driving- I have twins so will make sure that I drive at least twice for every time a friend take my two.  [/quote]
