[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I totally understand!

If your child wakes up sick and stays home from school, you have to remember to call the other parent and tell her you aren't doing car pool that day, so the other child knows to skip the afternoon activity and ride the bus home... it's an added headache.

I don't think you suck at all.  If I were in the other family's position, I'd be so embarrassed to ask someone to drive my kid without any kind of offer of reciprocation!

This, along with your feeling like the other parent is trying to use you. Unless we're missing some critical info, it would have made more sense for the other parent to ask to carpool with you both splitting the trips. I'm someone who gladly does favors when people need them, but this sounds more like a taker.

Go with your gut and say no guilt-free.[/quote]

This. Some people have a lot of nerve. If this isn’t a friend of yours, where do they get off thinking this is something you should do? How do they not feel obligated to help pull their weight? Just say “no, sorry, that doesn’t work for us.” Who cares if she gets annoyed? She’s not your friend anyway. [/quote]
