background : I have Aspergers/bpd/anxiety/dyspraxia

Hi I’m about 8m preg not trying to make an excuse but I ask my parents for help sometimes and they just make me even more stressed

today I asked them to pick up my kids so I can go and collect some car seats for their car as they don’t have any

I arrive home about 40 min later and they still not back said they got lost and didn’t know way from school to my house which is only next village . They are from the surrounding area

I get home and I feel upset as it’s foggy and that means the pollution levels are up which are harmful and I tell them off for not using google maps or making a u turn and going back the way they came.

my dad is a doctor supposed to be the smart one but my mum was driving

I also tell them off for not bringing my lunch box back despite me texting to remind for last 2 days and not using the hand sanitizer I gave them yesterday on my kids before they had their snack in car

My dad said it was rude of me not to invite them in now for a few minutes but I was too upset at their incompetence so now they will have the “right “ to give me silent treatment for a few days.

I also resent myself for not knowing how to fit the new isofix seats I’ve never been able to and they don’t have a clue either

nice things I do to help others just blow in my face

AIBU

I wouldn't be surprised at all if they give you the silent treatment, I wouldn't want you to engage with someone so rude, they were doing YOU a favour not the other way round!

I'd tell you to fuck off, how dare you speak to anyone like that.

Stop making excuses for your behaviour and stop telling people off.

It's foggy? So pollution levels are up? This is mad. As is the hand sanitizer comment. I think you need help for your anxieties, or at least to acknowledge that YOU are wrong, not other people.

Your parents were helping out. It's not 'nice things you do to help others'. They were the ones doing something nice and you just complained.

Is this a ridiculous reverse or something?

Borgonzola · 12/12/2023 17:24

I'm not sure I understand the issue with the fog, and not using hand sanitiser once won't kill them. Nicely, it sounds like you're letting yourself get upset about little things, and at 8m pregnant that won't help anything.

YABU they were doing you a favour, and you were mad they didn’t return on time. YABU for not inviting them in after driving that amount of time too. YABU for being quite bossy and demanding. You would of complained also if they never picked your children up
