[quote=Anonymous]It's not an imposition -- it is literally not being "imposed" on OP.  She was asked and accepted.  That's not to say she can't decline going forward (some people would find this easy, but OP clearly doesn't), but I don't get this idea that it is some terrible crime to even have asked.  It makes life easier for this family, carpooling is better for the environment, and some people would find the burden of this negligible.  Someone said this punishes less assertive people who don't like to say no, but come on.  Grow up.  If it works for you, great, if it doesn't, it doesn't.  Say so.  If someone balks at your "no," then fine, they're annoying, but there's no reason to believe these people would have been weird about it (or would be weird about OP having a sick day or whatever).  It feels like there is so much resentment these days (f these guys for having three kids) and such weird social isolation (it is wrong for people to even ask me things).

This family apparently can't reciprocate with carpooling right now, but for all we know have every intention of trying to make themselves helpful to OP if the opportunity presents itself or when the baby gets older and their lives calm down.  [/quote]
