Does anyone else get annoyed with other parents who never give lifts anywhere or am I just being extremely grumpy! For example today DD and friends have gone off to a theme park for the day, a good hours drive away. As usual the same mum has taken four of the girls including my DD and I'm picking up, including her DD. The other two girls parents never even offer but just expect a lift. One of them works (but could still do the late pick up), the other doesn't but seems to always be 'busy' even though the trip was planned weeks in advance! It's the same if the girls go swimming, or shopping or even need picking up from a school sports fixture. I've made a stand before now and refused to take them but it just ends up that they then won't go at all and the trip is cancelled. DD is good friends with the other girls too so wants them to be there and it's really not the girls fault anyway. So annoying!!!
