I had to buy where I can afford. I decided it’s better for my kids to have space and a yard than live in a city in a tiny apartment. That doesn’t mean I owe them anything. I always drive for school things, but fun stuff I tell them it has to be once a month or whatever makes sense.

If you are only going to drive them 1x monthly, your daughters aren't going to be able to participate in any of the productions/school plays etc. Unless they rely on rides from others....just be aware that it won't do them any favors socially to be known as the ones who always ask for rides without giving others rides. At some point, the other girls (or their mothers) will start saying no. That's just the reality. Either way, they are going to be left out of things.
