You need to learn to use trains and use Uber and be patient - we are bending over backwards to try to help you while we have two sick kids. Come ON!" I'd say it while laughing, to soften it but saying it would get the point across.

That's rude.

I'd just say either she can ride in with dh, or she can cab to the metro.

Yeah, I wouldn't be as blunt as that, but you know what works with your friendship OP. I'd just tell her however you think she'd hear it best that she needs to be a grown up And handle her transportation needs herself.

Yeah, my friends and I are really blunt. If one of us were annoying another of us, we'd want it pointed out ASAP so we could stop.

Yes! NP here going through something with a manipulative friend. I have made my boundaries very clear, have no problem saying "that doesn't work for me" and offering other resources she could try. When people say no to her, she interprets it as "You obviously hate me and I'm not welcome in your life." Is your friend like that, OP?
