I have a few days off every week. I get that if parents work it may create a hardship. I would be home doing nothing anyway.
What is the big deal?
Driving is easy. I drive 45 min each way to get my eyebrows done.

Do you have nothing else to do with your time? When I have a day off, I have other things to do. If you WANT to drive him, then go for it. But driving an hour and a half round trip is just unnecessary and a huge waste of gas.

It is 45 min there and back in total. I have lots of days off. I still have things to do on my days off but not every minute.

Maybe you need to find something else to occupy your time then. I'm not trying to be mean, but you sound kind of bored. Volunteer?

Not bored. I have a flexible schedule. I can squeeze in 45 min a few times a week for my kid.

The needs of the parents is the only thing that matters to this bunch.

Not everyone wants to rear coddled, entitled, self absorbed little assholes who expect everyone to drop everything for them.

How do you walk around with that huge chip on your shoulder? You must have had a bad childhood and no one loved you and now all great mothers must feel your jealous and pathetic wrath. You write the same diatribe in all your posts in every thread that you manage to reply to. So sad.

PP again. If I were your DH, I'd be annoyed if you were pissing away all that money on gas too.

He doesn't worry about money.

So how about caring about your kid's future, and mine, by worrying about the environment and not adding to the air pollution by driving 3x week so that your 16 yr old DS isn't inconvenienced?

Now you have to "squeeze it in?" First you act like you have all the time in the world anyway. Now you're acting like your time is so full, but you can eke out a little bit to save your son some debatable inconvenience. You obviously just want to justify driving him, so I don't know why you bothered to come on here asking for others' opinions.

I'm with this person. OP, you sound like a waste of air. Why do you exist if your life is so empty you're aching to drive a bored 16-year-old to school several times a week to kill time? Maybe you can do something more productive and not feel the existential emptiness that you're feeling but obviously too dumb to express or understand.

Jealous? Let me guess, you work 50 hours a week. You depend on daycare or a nanny. You barely see your kids.

I find I am as busy as I want to be. Sometimes that is busier than others. I am lucky I guess.

Your DH has likely made it clear to your son that he thinks there should be one drop off and no hanging out at home until 11:00.

Answer honestly:

Do you want to drive him in later so he likes you more than your DH?

Even though you called your DH "cold and selfish?" Sounds to me that you want to be the "nice" parent in this scenario. Otherwise, why else would you do it? Why not back up your DH and give your kid more study time in the process?

My son has no idea we are even debating this idea. Wtf is worng with you?
I am rarely "the nice parent". I dont care to be. I am much more strict than my dh. That makes me less popular, i assume. Who cares.
This is not how my mind works.

Then why not defer to your DH and give your kid more study time in the process?

Really? You said of your DH "He thinks I'm too soft."
