[quote=Anonymous]This is the OP. Thanks for all of the replies. One of the responses hit my feelings exactly. While I know I have the right to (and should) just say no, no explanation needed, it's awkward in the moment, especially when it's such seemingly small thing to drive the neighbor's child, when it's not out of my way at all. I do have concerns about navigating the parking lot, but I'm very careful. It's easy to give an excuse as to why my answer is "no" for a particular ask, but I fear that giving an excuse rather than just saying "no, I don't want to do it, however, I will do it in an emergency situation) just encourages future asks. Thank you for reconfirming that this person is using me and is inconsiderate and that I owe her nothing. And as far as the question about how I'm physically able to get the additional child in my car, we have an extra carseat and a mini van. Maybe to my detriment!!![/quote]
