My DC passed their driving test a couple of months ago and as we live in the country with the school 4 miles away down pavement-less, busy roads, we decided to buy a car for them to use.
This has made my life so much easier as the bus was really unreliable and I often had to do the school run last minute when it didn't show up/was delayed.
My DC has given their 3 friends a lift to school since the day after they passed, saving them time and the bus fare, but not once has any of them ever offered any money for petrol/car costs (like extortionate insurance 🙄)
AIBU to think that their parents should have at least given a fiver/tenner to pass onto the driver by now because that's what I would have done?
My DC feels awkward about asking for money, I don't really see the lift-receiving-kids as I'm working/commuting when they leave, so without sending a pointed text to their parents I can't really get involved, but I'm starting to feel like a bit of a mug here.
None of the three kids are close to taking their test, let alone passing (or getting a car), so the lifts are unlikely to ever be reciprocated.
Are they being CFs?
