We have a new neighbor. He takes care of his father who has had a stroke. He said that any information on activities I knew about would be great. I told him about daycare and will pick up information for him.
I thought maybe we could carpool. He doesn’t have a vehicle so I told him that the daycare does pick people up. I don’t use it as I use those days to do errands.
Later I was thinking about carpooling. The neighborhood mom’s created one when the kids went to junior high. We lived .2 miles too close for bus service.
And here I am many years later thinking about carpooling again. The difference is this time I had a caution on how well the other ‘parent’ drives. I don’t think I ever worried about that when the kids were younger.
Maybe because we had all lived in the neighborhood for years, and I hadn’t heard about speeding tickets or accidents, it was enough. But was it really? Must have because the kids are in their 20’s now.
