[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]

Yeah and the weird leaps that these parents (who are in a bad spot!) are just takers and will just drain OP through endless favors, will never reciprocate, etc

Like, you don’t always have to assume the worst of people. Or that the worst thing will happen. Be a little more open minded. Every parent will be in a spot at least once where they will need someone to call on! [/quote]

They could reciprocate right now, by trading off rides, but obviously they aren’t willing to do that. OP isn’t missing out on anything here.[/quote]

These bus rider parents are clearly not givers...[/quote]

This. If I was in this situation, I'd start a group text with our neighbors and lead off by offering to take a few shifts [/quote]
