We have a family occasion coming up soon and we’ve booked a meal afterwards at a restaurant for us, my parents and in-laws. This was all confirmed 6 weeks ago with everyone.
My parents are staying overnight as they don’t like driving back too late and they recently downsized and moved further away. They do drive occasionally and bought a new car only last year.
They've now decided in the last day they’re not driving now which now means either both me and dh have to take two cars or order and pay for a taxi for them approx £70 which we weren’t even doing for ourselves, see if in laws would take their car and take them now as originally they were planning on travelling with bil and sil. Public transport is an option but too but they would need to get one bus walk a bit then get another bus. The bus service isn’t the most reliable and is hourly.
My husband is being brilliant and offering to do two runs dropping me and dc at the restaurent then come back and get them then do it again for going home but that’s ridiculous as it will mean he will have 4 hours of driving as opposed to just 1
