Well my elderly mom told me that she does not want to drive them, but she is willing to because it looks bad not to. They asked her, she did not request to.
If you want to pay for this rostie and her surgeon husband, PM me and i'll give you their paypal. You can pay for all the uber and taxi fairs. You can even pay for their groceries and gas for their luxury cars.
btw I bet they earn 5X as much as you.

She is asking for $$$. Thats not a favor. If you want to pay for this rostie and her surgeon husband, PM me and i'll give you their paypal. You can pay for all the uber and taxi fairs. You can even pay for their groceries and gas for their luxury cars. She is taking advantage of my elderly mom.
You can even wipe their ass for free. I'm sure that the Rostie will like that.AGE-25

PM me and i'll give you the Rostie/her surgeon's husband paypal and their dentist kids paypal as well. You can pay for all the uber and taxi fairs, instead of making my elderly mom drive and taking advantage of her. You can even pay for their groceries and gas for their luxury cars(they like BMWs and Mercedes btw., if you want to buy them an extra one) You can even wipe their ass for free. I'm sure that the Rostie will like that. Doubt that she gets much attention from her surgeon husband.
She is taking advantage of my elderly mom, by making her drive 30 minutes and by making her use her money. My mom told me that she does not want to drive them, but she is willing to because it looks bad not to. They asked her, she did not request to.AGE-25

07-03-2022, 06:18 PM #36The closer we approach the uncertainty of life's ending the more we wish to trade all of the things we have acquired in exchange for all of the things we have lost: wealth for youth, knowledge for fresh curiosity, resignation for hope. We'd trade our wisdom for new experiences, but it is wisdom that will teach us that at the end of the road the only new experience is death.

I mean I personally wouldn’t ask for rides and take care of myself. But I have friends who I’ve given rides to or I’ve gotten a ride from just cuz that’s how things work.
On this particular subject. I would say it’s your moms friend not yours. If your moms friend and her have a relationship where it’s appropriate based on their friendship it’s more than fine. You aren’t your mom, you don’t know what kind of friends they are or how your mom feels about things. Get your own life and move out?

Its not like they feel uncomfortable with a stranger either. She implied that its was because of the $$$, because the rostie bitched about uber prices.
I could understand if they were uncomfortable with their foid daughter driving with a stranger,( because the uber driver may not be Chad or some chit that foids fear) , but she IMPLIED that its financial related. What angers me .Last edited by johnnydeep1; 07-03-2022 at 06:48 PM.

Who said that I live with my mom?My mom told me that she does not want to drive them, but she is willing to because it looks bad not to. They asked her, she did not request to. My dad told my mom NOT to give the Rostie or her kids anymore rides without good reason, and got pretty angry when he heard this.
. They have never did any favors for her. They never once asked my mom out for dinner or invited her over. In fact, once my mom picked up food for them and dropped it to their house when they asked.AGE-25

Your use of the F word comes off as misogynistic. Here is my advice for your mother:
I knew a guy who would ask me to give him a ride to a gas station 2 miles away because he lacked a car and did not want to pay 50 cents extra for chewing tobaco at the nearby gas station. I cut that off. My landlord's son's cousin drives for Uber. My landlord kept asking him for free rides. He eventually cut that off.
It is true that friends do each other favors, which can be in different ways from each other. Has your mother's friend done her any favors? She has a right to set her own boundaries.
Sounds like you are worried your mother is being pressured into something she does not want. Tell your mother it would not look bad and that she does not have to do anything she does not want to do. She can say she is busy too. They can't attack her for that if they won't take time to drive their daughter either. It is her time vs theirs.
You could ask what she gets out of the friendship. Maybe it is lopsided where your mother has few friends but the other parents have several and can drop her. If they attack her for not having many friends, and only give company for favors, then she has to decide if that is better than finding new friends.
She should find a group hobby even if the people there are younger than her. Takes time to make real friends. I have several and meet up with different ones on different weeks or months. Don't be dependent on anyone for happiness. It can be unhealthy.

"your mother's friend done her any favors? She has a right to set her own boundaries."
Nope. They have never done any of that. They never once asked my mom out for dinner or invited her over. In fact, once my mom picked up food for them and dropped it to their house when they asked.
My dad and I both told her to stop doing favors for the Rostie/her husband and her foid daughter unless its because she has no on else. Hopefully my mom will listen. My mom is elderly, lonely and can easily be taken advantage of.AGE-25

Also, please pass the following advice to your mother:
No one is going to act benevolently in your best interest all the time. Everyone is overwhelmed by their own lives. There is give and take, and some will take as much as you can give and not give back, or assume that you liked it, or just not be able to give back enough. There is a balance between setting boundaries in advance, or testing the waters even if it means losing some, or knowing how someone is and holding out accordingly at the right times. Don't drop people for being a bit selfish. Do drop people who attack and pressure and laugh at you for not having other friends. And don't be reliant on any one. Work on relationships with several.

My father avoids making any friends because he fears being taken advantage of. My brother does not pursue friends either, and only like his pets and plants. I'm the most social of us, and I'm and introvert.
Your mother is far behind socially, but she will have to learn on her own. Driving someone to the airport won't hurt her. Maybe it will give her resolve for next time.
You can help more by finding hobby clubs for her. I play chess at a club on Saturdays.

I give my friends rides for free if I've not seen them in a while. But if they were to regularly send me on errands, to save money rather than to see me, I'd want gas money or more likely tell them to hire a pro, since my time is worth something to.
Think about how you'd want to be treated on both sides, figure out what is fair, and then set your boundaries.
They won't drop her over one instance. They will hold out hope for future favors.

She is lonely and elderly and did it behind my dad's back. My dad told her that its okay this ONE time, but he will not allow it to happen again. My mom is CLEARLY being taken advantage of by her Rostie "friend" and apparently, by her foid daughter as well. I also told my mom to stop doing them favors.

OP, tell your mother and father this simple trick:
They don't have to answer the phone or respond to text messages. They can't wait till after the flight date. It is the friend's responsibility to plan her daughter's travel. Your mother does not own any availability info. After the flight, she can call your friend and not bring the topic up or just say she was busy last week. Giving reasons opens up room for rebutals. Best to just walk away.
I understand your father wanting to say something to the friend, but ideally it should be your mother saying that. But if she is that weakened, your father is the next best bet.
He would be safest to do it over text message or a recorded conversation. Going in person could lead to escalations or false accusations.
