Daughter is in year 8
She was in a three friendship group for a number of years but one of them drifted apart from her last year. Up until that point, us mums had shared lifts to and from school each day. In the final few weeks before the friendship fell apart, it started getting awkward between the girls and the car journeys were full on tension. I told the other two mums that I was going to remove myself from the lift share as it was causing more anxiety before and after school.
Fast forward to now, I’ve been in a good rhythm of getting my ow children to and from school. There’s been a recent change in circumstances between the other two mums who have continued to lift share. It’s meant that I’ve been asked if I can help with the lifts for the girl who has remained friends with my daughter. At the start of this week, I agreed to a couple of pick ups, but it wasn’t feeling like the right thing to do.
My daughter has come out of school today upset as there’s been a fall out today between her friendship group. Seeing her so upset has reminded me why I stopped the lift shares in the first place as she sometimes just needs to leave school at school and get in the car back in her safe place to unwind.
AIBU to go back on the agreement I made earlier this week?
