[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]find families which whom to carpool. [/quote]

Not OP, but in a carpool scenario, is anyone ever willing to do a one-driver carpool?
Meaning, say you're a SAHP in MD or VA who has always driven your child into DC everyday.  I WOH full-time.  If I paid you for gas, would you be willing to drive my child with you on a daily basis?  [/quote]
Maybe if the SAHP was really in need of money or extremely generous. I'm neither, I guess, and would rather just deal with my own kids. [/quote]
And for what?  $4 a day?  No thanks. [/quote]

Exactly!  And, face it, it someone has the means to SAH in this area it is b/c they CHOSE to and can AFFORD to.  No SAHM I know needs a few bucks from a worker.[/quote]

Thanks.  Good to know that's the thought process around here.
Growing up, I went to a private school on the other side of town and a nearby SAHM often drove the child of another family in addition to her own.  She was going to school anyway, and it was no extra hassle.  Obviously the other family had to handle transportation on their own when this mom couldn't do it, but most days it was no big deal for her to do it.[/quote]

If you were a neighbor,sure I would do a carpool. But to do a carpool means I have to factor in the time it takes to get to your house and wait for your kid to be ready and get in the car.  This can add significant time esp with traffic in this area and my kids may be running late so every second counts.

If you live next door or a few doors down, and could be reliable for being ready ON TIME then it isn't such a big deal.   But just assuming your house is on MY way to school and therefore is a no brainer to have me taxi your kid, um NO.

Carpools usu work both ways, if it is one sided that is just bad manners[/quote]
