Giving someone a lift

Dd and her friend have been going to the same club for two years. Friends mum suggested we share the dropping off and collecting. I can do either but collect most of the time at other mum's request. We live at opposite ends of the same town so we each have to go out of our way to drop off/collect the other child. My dd no longer needs dropped off at this club, she gets there by another means as she now goes straight from another activity. Friend's mum obviously still has to drop her dd off and still expects me to bring her dd home which I have been doing and won't stop doing tbh but I am a bit annoyed that she benefits from these new circumstances and not us. AIBU to feel this way or am I being really petty?

I would just say the arrangement doesn't suit you any longer and you'd prefer to just bring DD home yourself in future and for her to pick up her DD

she sounds like a bit of a taker though so be prepared for huffing

Of you could suggest you do alternate pick ups each week

if you don't want to do it, explain that your situation has changed - you have now other things planned at drop off time, can't do it anymore.

friends understand and will make new arrangements.

you can offer do to it till half term so she can figure it out.

if she gets her knickers in the twist - tough cookies

if you are genuinely busy and//or it is very inconvenient, don't worry.

there's is no point doing it if it annoys you - you have two choices: change the arrangement or change your attitude
