[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]is your issue that you think you are being taken advantage of or that it is burdensome? If it is the former, cant stand people like you. In either case just say you " i cant " and dont.[/quote]

Can't stand people like what? People who don't realize that agreeing to help you in any way means that they are agreeing to help you forever even when the original need has passed. You hate people you can't easily take advantage of I guess.

Also this is de facto burdensome. OP has to go out of her way to pick up the kid. Even if it's just a few minutes every morning it's still a burden. The whole point here is that OP thought she was taking on this burden to help with a need (not wanting to wake the baby) but now it appears to just be a convenience (not wanting grandma to have to load three kids in the car). Why should OP take on a permanent inconvenience in order to spare another family an inconvenience they must have known would be an issue when they had a third kid.

Also I don't think people are understanding the burden of being responsible for someone else's kid every morning. It's not just that OP has to go out of her way. It means that if she is running late one morning then not only is her son late but so is the other kid. Or there may be mornings where OP would be on time except she still has to go pick up the other kid. So now her son is late specifically because she had to pick up this other kid. Also now if OP's son is sick she has to contact this family and let them know she's not taking him to school -- just what you want to do when you are also trying to juggle your own work scheudule and also maybe get your kid into the doctor.

It's actually NOT a small imposition anymore than taking your own kid to school ever day is a small imposition -- it's work.[/quote]
