This is a little hard to explain. We have two frum schools in our neighborhood. We opted for a school in another, nearby neighborhood. For DD1's year, there is only one neighbor who is in the same grade, and is thus on the same schedule. Got me so far? I would like to carpool, but my car only takes two carseats and I have two kids. Now, putting yourself in the other mother's situation, would you think it was cheeky or rude if I proposed a carpool but with me doing something other than driving as payback? I was thinking I could pay for half of the gas, cook dinners, make Shabbos desserts, run errands during the morning, etc? I of course would say if it doesn't work for her, no problem, but I don't want to put her in a situation that might make her feel uncomfortable saying no. Feedback? |

It could definitely work - someone is watching my dd 3x a week for about 45 mins and in "exchange" I am picking up her son Mondays-Thursdays each day and driving him to her sister (school and sister are in my neighbourhood). I think I may also watch him once a week or when her sister is unable to. |

it may work- but i wouldnt call it carpooling. i would simply ask if she would consider taking your children and in exchange you could do x,y,z |

Here "carpool" became slang for picking up any kids from school even only your own! |
