To think boyfriend should always bring me home?

[Mummyin2012x]

hi guys, this is my first AIBU, I'm a lurker by nature.

Had a bit of a row with my mum tonight and just want an outsiders take on things.

Long story short my boyfriend and dad are both cab drivers, my mum and dad both think that when I'm Out drinking after work one of them should bring me home. Now, I don't mind a lift home but am happy to get the train and then a taxi home. My dad has offered a few times recently to bring me home (I've ended up getting train both times as he was too far away and getting the train is more convenient anyway).

My boyfriend, doesn't feel the need to bring me home, nor do I expect it. I probably go out after work once a week and don't feel he should have to bring me back (30 min journey) and then go back again.

Tonight, my ma has had a drink and said both her and my dad think my boyfriend is 'mean'.

AIBU to think that I should just be able to go out and come
Home with no drama.

:-( I hate the confrontation!

Your mum is being ridiculous. If you are out with other people and can get home safely by yourself, you should. Especially if he is working, but even if he is not.

If you came to reply on him when there are perfectly good other options then you'd be screwed if one day he couldn't come get you and your mum had convinced you that getting the train/bus/whatever was too scary and dangerous.

Aren't you old enough and ugly enough as my mum would say to look after yourself?

No, that's daft. Getting the train/taxi is fine. I imagine it'd be a bit of a detour for your dad/boyfriend to take you home if it's a 30 minute train journey.
