I drove ds age 16 and his friend somewhere yesterday. 5 miles each way, friend walked to our house then walked home from our house so I wasn't inconvenienced in any way, ds was going anyway.
His mum today dropped me off a bottle of wine, a box of chocolates, a bunch of flowers and a card with petrol money of £20. We drive an electric car, it probably cost me 75p round trip.
I share lifts with people all the time and never give thank you gifts. I'm really quite embarrassed by her generosity.
Is this slightly weird? Or am I weird for not thinking sharing a lift is a big deal? I guess I'm part of a group where we all share around so I assume it all evens out in the end.
I feel really bad about the £20 but there's not much I can do now. I might give it to ds to buy them all popcorn with next time they go to the cinema.
