I’m visiting my Mum for a few days whilst my Dad is away, getting a train late this evening and getting in around 9.30pm. They live 15mins outside of a medium-sized town where there are taxis and Ubers but recently they have been unreliable. This morning I told my Mum what train I was getting and asked if she could make sure she didn’t have a drink this evening so she could pick me up if I couldn’t get a taxi, otherwise I’ll be completely stuck.
I just phoned her to say I was on the train and she said her neighbour had popped round. I reminded to only have one drink so she could pick me up, and she said she wouldn’t do that and getting a taxi will be fine. I’m furious. Half of a mind to turn around and go back to my house and my husband - I’m mostly doing her a favour so she isn’t on her own this week!
AIBU?
To expect to be picked up from the station?

I would carry on as planned but chat to her about how you feel

I'd be concerned she can't resist a drink in order to pick you up. Does she have a problem with alcohol?

I usually pick my adult children up but I don't do late evenings. They know that.
Why can't you pre book a taxi?
Do you want to see your mum or do you want to punish her?
