[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here. She said that it was because the kids were used to that car. And that she didn't know if I would be safest in my car, I'm not sure why not. But they live in Columbia heights part of DC and her job is in the west virginia. I am not familiar with the area and my friend thinks that she will put a lot of tearing in my car even though I have her car[/quote]

That is the most ridiculous excuse ever. I've never once met a kid who was so attached to a car that they had a difficult time riding in someone else's car. Most kids I know love the opportunity to ride in someone else's car. Heck, one of my charges has declared my car his favorite car ever.

As far as the safety comment my guess is that she was thinking you would be extra conscientious while driving her car since it doesn't belong to you. That's also kind of silly. A safe, conscientious driver will drive the same no matter what car is being driven. I'm a careful driver, but I've noticed that I am even more so when I have the kids in the car (regardless of the car I'm driving) so if you're anything like that it won't matter what car you're driving...you'll be extra careful b/c you have the kids with you.

Stand your ground on this one. Her explanation makes things even stranger. [/quote]

The other explanation is that she thinks there is something wrong with your car and thinks the kids are better off in another one.

If so, it's still weird. I think its very strange and unfair to propose to drive an employee's car to your job every single day, esp. when the commute is into WV.
