DD is 21 and lives about half an hour away. She was coming home today to go to a friend’s Birthday and staying until Monday.
She called earlier and said she had just realised there were engineering works and no trains going out of her city or the nearest town so wouldn’t be coming. I thought it was a shame it miss the party so I offered to go and get her. She was super grateful and has given me petrol money. She had a male friend with her so I dropped them both in our town.
She text a while ago to say male friend had realised he can’t get home due to no trains! There is a night bus but it takes about 2 hours as it stops a lot. I would have been happy for him to stay at ours but DH doesn’t want him to. DH is quite a private person plus we don’t have a spare room and our house is a bit of a tip due to decorating. DD now feels awkward as she has crashed at this friends house a few times after nights out. Although she is respectful of DHs concerns. She’s not being stroppy.
DH is of the attitude that he’s a grown up so should figure out how to get home. I have offered to take him home. After midnight the roads will be empty so it will only be 20ish minutes each way. DH is annoyed that I have offered.
My take is, if it was DD, I would like to think someone would help her if they could. I have had a chilled day and no plans tomorrow so it’s not a huge deal.
Am I a mug?
