Then she'd send a note saynig he didn't need a ride, but never offered. At the end of the season, her son texted mine asking what my DH ( who did all the driving for that) might like, Starbucks card, etc. And never gave him anything, including a thanks.
Her excuse was that she was tyring to make partner at her firm, which she did. Well yippee for her. So?
Now we're busy every time kid needs a ride anywhere.
Yes, I know, a bit off topic. Just wanted to say that a "thanks" and a gesture of any kind would go a long way.
She can hire people if she is busy making partner. Plenty of money. I do feel bad for the kid. I would not have gone early for his private lesson if mine weren't in private too.
