A self-described "doormat" mum is worried her next-door-neighbour is going to pressure her into giving her child free lifts to school.
The mum is in the process of moving house and her new next-door-neighbour, who she doesn't know, has a child who is in the same year at school as her son. Despite not yet moving in, the neighbour has already been hinting at wanting the mum to drive her child to school because it's "hard" for her to get to school in the morning.
The neighbour has even told her own child the mum will be doing the school run, as her child told her son they'd soon be driving to school together. The neighbour hasn't outwardly asked for a lift yet but the mum is already feeling anxious and "guilty" about the impending conversation and wants to "politely" let her down.
