A friend doesn't have a car for 3 weeks so I'm taking her child home from school. I collect my dd from the same school & have my baby with me. After I have collected dd I pick up ds from another school & then my older two kids from a school bus stop. I have a very tight timetable as I can't be late for the bus.
Last week this other mum asked me to take to her house two other kids - as she'd normally collect them from school on mon & tues. I don't know their parents. I agreed last week as the parents might not have been able to find another solution but today it was the same story - me with my littleones & three others.
I get to her house & she says can I take one of the kids to his grans house tomorrow instead of her house after school. I say no as it seems to be a complete advantage of my good will.
I feel the other kids parents could sort themselves out rather than expect a mum they've not met or spoken to to be picking up their kids from school. Plus they could ring to say thank you as I've gone to some effort to help them.
