We live less than a mile from his secondary school. He walks most days, but about once a week he will complain about the weather "I left my coat at school, ...can't find an umbrella, ...have a project to take in" etc or will be late getting up, too tired to walk etc and will badger me for a lift to school.
Most of the time DS2 (12) has already left to walk to this same school by the time DS1 starts on about a lift. DD (9) is still getting ready as she leaves half an hour later.
AIBU to say "no, walk in the rain, put your project in a big bag" etc rather than pandering to him and leaving DD alone for 10 mins in the mornings getting ready while I ferry DS1 to school.
FWIW I work at home so am not usually washed and dressed until after the DCs leave for school, which means me having to drive him in my PJs or hurriedly get ready.
I'm getting fed up with him asking and it starts my day on a sour note having an argument where he tells me what a crap mother I am for not giving him a lift.
