To not drive dd 20 miles out of my way to meet boyf today?

[tactum]

My DM is seriously ill 120 miles away and I am having to go and stay with her this am - a bad enough journey in these conditions, which logically I probably shouldn't be doing and it will be an exhausting, stressful and very upsetting 2 day visit when I get there.

Dd is really cross with me as school is shut so she wants to spend the day with her new boyfriend who lives 20 miles in the opposite direction and I am refusing to drive her there, as it would add another hour to my journey and potentially put me in a ditch unable to get to my mum - public transport isn't running!

I don't think IABU at all and am shocked at how selfish she is being. What do you think?!

Sledging?!

That's a new one.

You don't believe that, do you?

true Bit I’m so used DS doing it (popular biking delivery job at weekends) I forgot he gets a lot of shifts because others don’t go out when it’s bad weather!

Still think getting her mobile coming into better weather would be a good idea though because it frees them & us up so much & helps with a bit more independence & responsibility.

What did you do OP? Did your DD go in the end?

She found a bus that was running from along my route to mums n got it. Dh picked her up. She was v apologetic n admitted she's been thoughtless. Was very untypical behaviour - she is usually very considerate and loves her gran very much. Thanks all!!

Excellent!

Hope your mom is ok
