Jen (Dual-career mom of Jacob 6, Caleb 3, and Abigail 9 weeks): Well, I've finally reached the last bastion of becoming a parent of a school-age kid. I'm officially in a carpool.
Kelli (Stay-at-home mom of Logan 9, and Whitney 8): I can’t believe you held out until now. School, soccer, baseball, swim team, playdates, gymnastics, music lessons, day camp, parties…how would we ever manage without carpool?
Jen: I couldn’t, especially as a working mom. I simply cannot be there after school every day and drive one every field trip. Part of me feels the ever-present guilt for not driving and part of me freaks out a little over not being the driver when my son's in the back seat.
Kelli: Trust me, you’ll get over that quick. I’ve considered trading in my giant SUV for a Smart Car just so I wouldn’t automatically be tagged for every field trip. I mean really, how many times can one person shepherd a half dozen kids...
