[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This thread is so funny. It’s half ppl saying “say no OP.” And half people saying “if you say no, maybe ppl won’t help you when you need it.”

Then the “say no OP” people are all “screw you for telling me ppl won’t help me if I don’t help them!!!!” Huh? So you guys always say no, but EXPECT people to help you out when you need it? And you’re the ones calling ppl who volunteer to help “pigs?” [/quote]

No, the village is give and take.[/quote]

In order to have give and take someone has to be the first to give.[/quote]

All the bus families should be giving so they can take, in order to solve their problem. OP is not in that group at all, and yet they want her to be the only one to give anything so they can take everything. Can you explain why you think OP should be involved at all in these arrangements? Why should her workday be interrupted to babysit someone’s kids just because they don’t want to do it themselves?[/quote]

Can you explain to me why OP doesn’t ask for the parents to take turns walking the kids from her house?  
That way her workday doesn’t have to be interrupted to walk her child every day and the other parents are able to get their children to school.  
What’s her big problem?

What?! You are really twisting yourself into a pretzel to figure out some way that OP needs to be roped into a situation she has nothing to do with. Presumably there were several bus kids. Those "several" families need to coordinate among themselves to solve THEIR problem. And while they are welcome to try and make THEIR problem some other unsuspecting person's who isn't impacted by the bus situation (OP) she has said that she doesn't want to do to do it and she's under no obligation.
