should I drop him off and pick him up?

[ClaudiaApfelstrudel]

my DH has to work today in a place that's about 15 minutes drive from home. There is a parking problem but if he looks around I'm pretty sure he'll find somewhere. If not there is on street parking within a 10-15 minute walk.

He wants me to drop him off, then pick him up again and spend most of the day running around after him because he doesn't want to have to find somewhere to park and/or walk from the parking spot into work. I myself have to work this evening and today is a day where I tend to unwind without kids and work until this evening.

AIBU to not take him and tell him he should find a parking space and/or walk for 10 to 15 minutes? He's gone now and left seething and now I feel so guilty but I would never have asked him if the shoe were on the other foot

Could he cycle / take the bus?

Seems a waste of your time for an hour's work

Why can't you spend an hour out of your day? 1/2 hr in the morning 1/2 hr in the evening.
Serious question!

RTFT Drew. It's not morning and evening, OP would barely have had time to come home between dropping him and picking him up, and thus lost 2-3 hours out of her day. All he had to do was find somewhere to park for an hour!

OP, glad you didn't give in to his sulk.

Leaving aside the issue that it isn't morning and evening, why should she have to? Her H was perfectly able to get himself there, he just didn't want the fairly minor bother of finding a parking place and possibly walking up to 15 mins to his workplace. I see that as just a normal, everyday part of being an adult in the workplace, not something that requires somebody else to give up their time to get around.

Why should she pander to a grown man's sulks? And why is a grown man totally incapable of driving, parking, and walking to the venue like everyone else?!

Meanwhile, inside OP's husband's mind.....

"... Now then. My time is precious. I'd rather like to save myself a half hour walk. I know! Claudia can drive for an hour!!"

Utterly bonkers.

So your DH expects you to drive him there then you have to drive back home and come back out again half an hour later to pick him up again. You also risk getting there to find the meeting has overrun so you have to wait around for him, not knowing how long he'll be.

As for finding a coffee shop, unless it's somewhere like Costa/Starbucks, chances are you'll be expected to buy food if between certain hours.

All this to save him having to find somewhere to park. I don't think so.
