to be pissed off with my brothers

[McNewPants2013]

every friday night i go to my mothers, sometime for a few bottles of wine or sometime for a few cup of tea. I live 5 minutes walk to my house.

however my brother's feel the need to walk me home. I don't need walking home. What do they think would happen grrrrrrr

I don't see it as male chauvinism at all, I see it as brothers looking out for their sister.

A very gentle YABU. Your mother has brought up two sons with manners.

So if OP doesn´t want them to walk her home, why should she have to go along with it?

Is what others wish to do with regard to her more important than what she wants?

[CwtchesAndCuddles]

Your mums wants to be sure you get home safe, your brothers are happy to do it? I don't see the problem.

Yes the chances are you would be fine walking home alone after a few bottles of wine but is it worth taking a chance if you don't have to just to make the point that you are an independent adult?

YANBU. I have this issue when I go round to a friends house. She always makes her DH walk me home. I find it really embarrassing and uncalled for. The more I say no thank you, the more that she insists.

I'm not a child and I'm absolutely able to get myself home OK and keep my self safe. I also refuse to live a life ruled by fear, that I need walked home "just in case" something happens.

Anecdotally,

Three of my friends have been invovled in accidents walking home from a night out in town.

one fell in to the road and was hit bay a car. The driver stopped and took them to hoispital.

one fell through a window and had to get the owner of the house to ring for an ambulance to have there arm sticthed up.

The last one fell off the kerb and hobbled home, went to the doctors later in the week to find that the srain was actually a ripped ligament.

Accidents happen to those that have had a few drinks.

I think it's different making sure that someone who is had a bit too much to drink home and general walking home simply because she is a girl.

The first is the kind and sensible thing to do. The second is uncalled for, especially if the person doesn't want walking home.

I agree if the OP has been drinking it might be the best she is escorted home.

But if no drink or a couple of glasses then I don´t see the need.

[SPBInDisguise]

I assumed the few bottles of wine was between all of them. Op, mother,brothers, maybe more. I agree if the op has a few bottles, too right she is taken home!

[AmIOverReacting]

YABU they care about you and want to make sure your safe, there's nothing wrong with that

[bootsycollins]

It's really sweet and shows they care. Bet you have a good chat and a giggle while your walking too.

YABU, sounds like something my brothers would do if we lived in such close proximity. They are gently protective of me (am older than them), much more so of the younger siblings - to the extent that the sister directly below them would have boyfriends vetted as a teenager.

Though come to think of it, one of my brothers turned up on my DSs first 3 dates with her now DH, and she is older than them as well!

YAB(abit)U. I can understand why you think they are treating you as though you are an adult, but they are being caring and sweet. Do yourself and them a favour - next time put your arm through theirs, lean into them, and have a lovely brother and sister chat as you walk home. Take this as an opportunity to get closer to them, and become FRIENDS, and not just siblings. They sound lovely and I'll bet your relationship with them will be even more fab.
