My DB is a fair bit younger than me but we are very close. This is going to be long but all relevant so please tell me the best thing to do!
He's is coming home today after completing his 4 year uni course. Uni is about 300 miles from home and we live rurally with bad public transport (he doesn't drive).
Our nearest train station is 3 miles away, but he chooses to go to one 10 miles away because it's 'easier' and has always just expected my DM to pick him up. He doesn't ask, just tells her where he'll be and what time.
He doesn't tell us in advance, even though he buys his ticket weeks in advance. Today we have just heard 'Train will be in at 7pm'. DM and I both have plans (it is Saturday night after all). He hasn't texted me at all to let me know, I only know through DM.
If he doesn't get picked up he will have a 15 min walk, a bus journey that will drop him at 20:30, and then a 30 min walk up a very steep hill with a heavy case.
If he'd gone to the train station 3 miles away he would have a 10 min bus ride and 5 min walk home. But he doesn't like it because the train journey is 'too long'.
WIBU to just leave him to make his own way home? I feel mean, but I'm so so fed up of his entitlement. He never asks for a lift or says thank you, and he's fast developing into one of these men I see so often on mumsnet who ignore the 'mental load' of running a house i.e. just standing there looking gormless until you ask him to do something. But that's a whole other thread!
He could get a cab too for £25ish. But he's bemoaning having no money despite me lending him a lot just 2 months ago so I doubt he'll do that.
What should I do?
