[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are you making the drive anyway? 
If not I think you can say no, that doesnt work for you.
If however, you are doing the drive yourself and will be close by to what they need just help them out.
If I had to drive a distance to get some sports equipment or something or pick something up I needed. I wouldn’t mind also getting someone else’s. I’m going anyway. 
I also feel like then the next time the situation arises they might take their turn, if applicable

thank goodness you don't live in Texas of the Southwest. Even grandmas do 8 hour RT drives in a day for something.

suck it up buttercup, esp if you were likely doing it anywhere.

OTHERWISE, pay for some Uber driver or Nanny you know to do it. THat's how we get great grandma down to Florida every late Fall, and then back up for summertime. PAY A TRUSTED DRIVER. [/quote]

Wait, OP, who has already made her own arrangements, should suck it up and make this drive or hire someone to do the drive for the favor-asker? [/quote]

No, but OP should have enough guts to say “actually I’m not driving Timmy to camp, sorry” and move on.  OP is making this a big deal.  I doubt the other person thinks it is nearly such a big ask since OP is doing the same thing anyway through whatever arrangements she made.  It wouldn’t seem like a big ask to me if a friend asked me to give their kid a 4 hour ride to a place I am already driving, but it would if for some reason I wasn’t going at all.[/quote]
