DD is 12 and in secondary school and stays with her dad half the week. She walks to school from his which is about a 20 min walk. She still has to even if it's raining / crap weather.

He is at work when she sets off but his wife is home and takes her own DD to school but sets off later. Admittedly it's not the same school as her DD is much younger.

AIBU to think she should be given a lift if the weather is crap and should I say something?

Are people honestly driving secondary age children to school? That's a prime chance at independence squandered. Crappy parenting IMO.

OP yanbu. Your dh should side with you.

Yeah we drive our 2 DD to school. Loads cheaper than buying two bus passes. Thanks, I'll be sure to work on my crappy parenting 👍

You already know this but YANBU. I suspect from your language you’re from near me and it has been drizzle not even rain. When I was 13 I had a 20 minute walk, then a wait and a 4 mile bus ride. Occasionally if it was tipping it down I’d get a lift but would usually choose to walk with my friends under our brollies.
