Aibu to expect my child’s dad to pick him up from school in taxi

[Wfhquery]

Asd child at special school 10 miles away not on any public transport links that wouldn’t involve about a 4 hour round trip. I drop off dh picks up. Dh has bad back since Monday and can’t drive. My mum is a nervous driver but she took dh yesterday to pick up as she doesn’t know the way. She can’t pick up today as something else on. We have no one else to ask. I said I’d have to take half day if not up to driving but realised I can’t due to important meeting. I’ve told him he’ll have to book a taxi, it will be about £40 or £50 as will be two journeys as can’t put child on their own in taxi. I’ve said I’ll pay for taxi. Dh not happy wants me to take half day, I’ve just had time off with child having covid so feel that I can’t as well as not wanting to waste holidays as I need them to cover school holidays

OP's not expecting him to drive, she's offered to pay for a taxi

Same thing - still sitting in a car for quite a long time.

Which isn't a problem as he say next to his MIL yesterday for the same trip!

Tbh is not even the money it’s more the fact that he expects to say “I can’t collect” and leave it at that and I sort. I have offered a solution which he doesn’t like but he’s perfectly free to come up with another one if he wants. There prob is someone else we could ask if I really thought through everyone but I’m at work, he’s sat at home. I do have sympathy for his bad back but if he really doesn’t like the idea of taxi he could start ringing round people we know instead of existing the solution from me all the time

Expecting the solution from me thst should say

If the LA pay so much every week then getting a taxi once won’t be a big deal, he needs to get on with it.

If you’d have taken the time off when dc had COVID, I might have some leave to spare. I don’t. But you can cover some of the next holidays since you’re his parent too, and it will be great not to be the only parent juggling work to make sure our child is looked after.

If that all adds up Id say that! What was he doing while you were looking after dc with covid?

Has he sorted the taxi op?

Has he sorted the taxi op?

No but he drove and picked him up himself
