Mum's frustration at being asked to take neighbour's daughter to school but she's never ready on time

A woman has turned to the internet for advice after being asked by her neighbour time and time again to take her daughter to school. Each time the woman makes a different excuse as to why she can't take her to school and every time she agrees the child isn't ready when they're ready to go.

In the post the woman said she and her neighbour get on but she is fed up of being asked to to take her child to school. She said she feels that on the school run that's the only time she gets to spend quality time with her children without the distraction of screens and general life distractions. She said: "This is a shame because I really enjoy the school run as a bit of time I get to spend talking to my girls away from the distractions of screens / homework / getting food ready etc."

The mum posted to MumsNet to ask other mums for advice, she said: "She texted me yesterday morning asking if I would take Jenny to school. I didn't see her message immediately but replied within 10 minutes saying yes, and saying I'd call for her at 8.30. At 8.30 my neighbour answered the door wearing basically no clothes saying that her daughter wasn't ready, and she hadn't seen my reply (why wouldn't you check?!)"
