[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You can’t police what this kid says and he can’t take it back.  This rumor seems dumb anyhow bc if your son deserves to be on the team, his skill will set the record straight.  He doesn’t need mom help.

But he doesn’t seem to like your son so why would you arrange for them to car pool.  [/quote]

To help out my friend, m'dear.[/quote]

NP. If it were me and it was going to be hurtful to my child to do the carpool I’d pull out. [/quote]

+1 A recurring theme on DCUM is mom/dad making their kid carpool with a bully because mom/dad doesn't want to lose the friendship with the bully's mom/dad, or doesn't want to be inconvenienced by driving their own kid around. It's all so tiresome. If you can't put your kids first, you shouldn't have had them. [/quote]

Teens need to learn that sometimes people do mean things when they're hurting and while it's not right and we shouldn't just accept it, we still do need to coexist with them. They will go through hard things in life but can recover. A one-week carpool will not break them. Maybe the friendship is over, maybe it's not, but teens need to learn to navigate through uncomfortable times and speak up for themselves without a parent swooping in to shield them. [/quote]

Translation: blah blah blah I refuse to inconvenience myself. Can't be show up half an hour late or leave half an hour early from my pencil pusher job, those pencils ain't gonna push themselves! Like I said, it's all so tiresome and repetitive with these carpool bully threads[/quote]

What's a pencil pusher job? Is this 1956?[/quote]

Pretty sure OP is not a surgeon providing life-saving medical care or performing air traffic control, etc.  :roll: [/quote]
