Taxi service for teenagers

[Bleakmidwinter1977]

Frustrated with this situation. We have 4 older teens who we encourage to be independent. We have good public transport where we live, both buses and trains, and its a generally "safe" town, with low crime rate.
Eldest son (17) has GF (18) who is ferried everywhere by her parents: college, gym, friends houses, and back home again. She is one of 2 siblings. I have no issue with what her parents do for her, that's their choice, only DH has started mirroring their behaviour and has started going out of his way to offer not only DS lifts everywhere, but his GF lifts home from ours.
It's driving me insane. They both have feet and it takes them no longer to organise making their own way between venues than it does for an adult to take them here, there, everywhere.
Both are currently taking driving lessons, GF will be given a car when she passes, so will be "independent" at that point. DS will save for his own car and expenses.

Can’t work out who you are more angry at here. Your husband for offering lifts or his son for taking them. I think it’s unreasonable to expect a teenager to turn down a lift that’s on the table in case his dad is too tired. If it has been offered then it is reasonable for him to think it is acceptable to accept it. If you need to talk to your husband about distribution of work load then that’s a different issue

I actually understand your frustration , OP.
We have 5 teenagers and live in the suburbs of Dublin . As we have both bus and tram services we rarely give them lifts .
Of course we offer now and then and will do a run if it's raining but the default is you make your own way .
Why on earth is your husband creating more, unnecessary work in what must be an already very busy life ??
I would think my husband was a right eejit if he did this . Also think it's not great for the kids .

Saying your mary Poppins whilst moaning and whinging about your partner picking up his child.... Wow.
You obviously can't see how up yourself you are. You don't get to tell him what he wants to do for his kids.
