[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Who are you people who are dumping on the OP.   How are you not sympathetic to anyone who has to deal with a parent like the nightmarish one described? If you have ever been a team manager or teacher, the OP’s reports should sound sadly familiar to you.  The Uber rating idea is fabulous!

OP, can we have Chapters 1-3? Also, are you considering giving the manager of the team where they are going a heads up?  We are still grateful for the intervention (many years ago) of acquaintanceS who warned us to never agree to carpool with a new family on our team who lived pretty close to us. They were notorious for weaseling out of almost all of their driving duties, and that’s exactly what the families foolhardy enough to ignore the warnings had to deal with. [/quote]

That’s so funny.....joining a carpool so someone else can routinely drive your kids. [/quote]

Slightly OT, but there was a mom on my sons swim team like this. She would call and ask to carpool. Then I would say OK which way do you want to drive, there or back? And she would say oh no, I need you to pick up Lalo, bring him to the swim meet, then drive him home afterwards. That’s not a carpool, honey, that’s a chauffeur. [/quote]
