[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 428643, member: 84"] I agree. You did good, especially if it is going to put you out of your way to do it. It may not be pleasant for him to walk or bike, but he will survive, and honestly if he does it to keep his job and move forward, he'll be a better person for it. I'm having similar issues with katie and family it seems. First it was the reception, which she didn't go to due to me not having enough room in the car, plus no desire to really take them. Now it's Aubrey's birthday party which is an hour and a half away which I know katie's kids have been counting on attending. It's the same problem. I can't fit that many people into one car, and no way in the world am I taking two cars with gas as high as it is. Plus.....my car needs tires and every time I drive it that far I'm worried about a flat. easy child flat out and says no, she won't even take a few to better fit them into my car. So.....welp that's out. No way katie can get transport that far. So, it's gonna be a no go for them again. Sigh. I just can't wait to hear the whining and the guilt trip she tries to lay on me for it. Oh, and because I was kind and took her for that first huge grocery trip when she moved in? Now........she expects me to pick her up anytime I go to the store. Only I don't because I shop with easy child. Save me gas and she helps me with couponing so I don't mess up. Walmart and kroger both are down the road from her. It may be a pain to walk to shop, but it's not unreasonable for her to do so when she's done it for a decade or more. ugh Irks me. It's not my fault she has no car and now no driver's license. And currently? She's got more free money than we do. omg So........just think through the whole "is this really going to help him" thing and the "am I going to be put out of my way to do this.........and how long will it be expected to last" before you be kind and volunteer.
