Am I being mean?

DS and his friend have both gotten into summer camp. Not done before but others in class have. I was so excited as summer can get long. DS’s friends mum just contacted me to ask if I can drop off and pick her son up. I’m in a real pickle as I don’t work so obviously can’t decline but she works and if I don’t drop off and pick up her son can’t go.

I know it’s so easy to say “just say no”. I don’t feel I can. Truthfully I don’t even know if her house is on the way or if I’ll be going out of my way so I’ve explained I’ll check out the journey and let her know.

it’s so annoying as I planned we’d do stuff after or before but I feel I’m stuck now. The camp is not local either, it’s a 30-45 minute drive away.

She's cheeky and her bad manners should not ruin your plans.
if your son and her son get on, say I can only take him on a ,say for example,monday,the other days I am committed and ds won't be attending regularly so you should make other arrangements.Or just say no.
do not feel awkward,embarrassed or guilty.her son her responsibility.
