[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]

Fine, but the giving and taking will not be remotely equal. OP would be doing this TWICE A DAY EVERY DAY while the bus is on its weekly off rotations. There is no way those other parents would ever be able to respond in a commensurate way. [/quote]

+1 people are greatly underestimating the accumulative burden this places on OP.[/quote]

dp I am the "no" poster but I am also a person who wouldn't ask these people for favors.  So, I don't give them an opportunity to say no! If I can't do something or my kids can't do something without inconveniencing someone else than we don't do it[/quote]
