Both dd and another girl in her class are going to secondary school in September. It is half an hour to 45 minutes away depending on traffic.
I don't know the mother very well, I know her well enough to speak to in passing but thats all, she has now accepted a job in London (1 hour each way commuting at least)
She wants me to commit to collecting her dd on certain days from the new school, and she will 'help when she can' as she doesn't know what her timings will be, or if she can be back in time for her dd.
I really don't want to do this, I feel it will be me that ends up doing all the lifts, looking after her dd when she is running late, and I have my own job (more local than hers, and I took a pay cut accordingly) I don't want to take on another child most evenings, she obviously has no intention of paying for actual childcare and is hoping to get by on favours I guess.
What would you do?
