[quote=Anonymous]OP, first of all, unless you know every last detail of the families you are talking about, you do NOT know if there are "exigent circumstances." You don't know what their internal family dynamics are or what issues might lie beneath the surface. So don't make assumptions that it is out of laziness. But here's the thing: If you don't want to drive other kids to events, then don't offer to do it. Don't "step forward." Just take your kid and leave it at that. And your kids aren't in control. You are. Your kids don't need a steady stream of playdates and activities. So set some parameters so that you don't grow resentful for things you are OFFERING to do. Personally, I hate when people volunteer to do stuff or offer to do stuff and then secretly resent it when people take them up on their offer. It's WORSE than the people who never offer at all.
