I offered to give my mum and sister a lift to the dentist today, it's in the neighbouring town so it's quite a drive and if I hadn't have taken them it would have took them around an hour and a half faffing on the bus and then a long walk.
So as soon as she gets in the car my sister said "Oh I hate these small cars". Before we'd even got out of their street she said the following:
"Look at the state of it in here, tissues all over!" (one small pack of tissues had fallen out of ds's school trousers as he left the car this morning).
"God it's so low down, I don't like low cars"
"Not much space in here is there?"
"i don't like Rovers to be honest"
"At least it doesn't stink like your old car, that's something I suppose".
"God I don't know how to can put up with that tree thing bobbing around on the mirror, that would do my head in"
"Is this car second hand? hmm you can tell".
I mean, ffs I was doing her a favour! She's 17 so really should no better.
AIBU for taking all this a little personally? She loves to rub it in that I don't have much money. We don't all get given thousands on a plate as soon as we're born . I know it sounds cruel but I'm kind of looking forward to the day when she joins us in the real world and learns that money doesn't fall into your hand as and when you need it when you're an adult.

AIBU?
To get slightly irritable when my car is slagged off whilst giving a lift?
