AIBU - Lifts?

[Fairyliz]

I am part of a group of 4 friends who sometimes go into our local city on a Friday night for a meal/to the theatre etc. Three of us are married one is single (relevant). Usually what happens is that one of the DH's runs us in and another collects us.

However I know my DH is not very keen on doing this running around. He is exhausted on a Friday night and generally like to come in, have a drink and slump in front of the tv, which obviously he cannot do if he is driving us around. The round trip would be about an hour.

I suggested to friends that we get a taxi, but they are not keen due to the cost, which would be about £15 per person in total.

I know that DH will drive if I ask him (albeit a bit grumpily), but he would never ask me to do anything I didn't want to so it feels a bit mean. It also annoys me that the single friend never drives or pays for a taxi but doesn't get any pressure from the group.

So any wise words from MN jury?

Let the other 3 continue to share lifts between the two husbands if that's what they want, and get a taxi every time for just you. They keep doing what they want (albeit with some extra trips throughout the year as your DH isn't helping anymore) and you still get to have a drink without bothering your DH..

This is easy.
Once every 4 times is your responsibility to decide what to do. You can each choose yourselves whether
A. Your own dh drives
B. You drive
C. You pay for the taxi for everyone.

If you choose option B, you're doing 2 of your times in one go. (There and back)

So how does that work?
A does journey in
B does journey home
C does journey in
D does journey home
A does journey in
B does journey home
C does journey in
D does journey home

B and D always do the home drive?
Surely it would work better if
A does month 1
B does month 2
C does month 3
D diesel month 4

** not sure why D has diesel.....? Meant to be does
