[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is baffling. Just ask what day would work for the mom to pick her up at 5 or whenever you want. OP, the other mom seems clueless but also you’ve given zero indication that this is a problem. People propose times and changes to plans all the time—just say it doesn’t work. Sheesh.[/quote]

Yep this is an OP needs to use her words situation.

"It's not going to work for me to drop off at grandma's (i might check first to make sure grandma doesn't live a block away or somewhere really close...), can grandma come pick her up at X time?  No?  Ok lets reschedule to a day that works better for all of us."

Personally not having my kid take the bus home would be a deal-breaker for me.  "Unfortunately there is a no guest rule for the bus and I am unable to drive to pick up both girls due to  my work schedule - how about a Sunday playdate?"

This is OPs communication problem not the other mom taking advantage - how is she supposed to know your limits if you don't express them? [/quote]
