[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why don't you drive your one day and then your DD alone the rest of the time? Just tell them the reason: riding in the carpool the other days takes up too much homework time.[/quote]

Not OP here but this is a good idea. They can look for another family to join the carpool. [/quote]

You fulfill your part of the carpool obligation, and you make it clear that the carpool is not working for you without saying a word. This way you can limit your DD's time as well as not burn bridges.

I am also thinking that it may actually make things easier for the other mom who is doing two shifts, because she will have one less child to drop off.

I think this is the only classy solution. [/quote]

This makes sense except surely she should’t Need to do her “shift” for ever more.  As I noted above, the challenge her is that swim teams goes on and on. There really isn’t an end to the “season” so she’ll have to tell them at some point that she’s out entirely.  [/quote]
