[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a SAHM I generally say no to summer carpools because I want the freedom to come and go with my kids. If we want to have a picnic lunch On a whim, go to the pool, visit a museum, etc without worrying about getting Timmy home first. Summer is meant to be stress free. [b]Also, it’s not a carpool as other parents don’t pitch in (Ananda is taking her kid anyway so mine can hitch a ride).[/b] [/quote] Agreed. That is not a carpool. Is that what OP is talking about? I can see saying "no" to that. Usually when I do carpools, one parent does drop-off and the other does pick-up every day. I like it even as a SAHM because it means that my first grader can go to swim team in the morning, rather than sit in the car while I drive my third grader to art camp. And then after camp, we might go get ice cream or have a little playdate until the other parent finishes work. [/quote]
