Picking Up Spouse From Airport?

[Anonymous]

If he can expense the taxi, who am I to interfere with the livelihood of our stalwart Washington Flyer drivers?

Never. Why would I do that if he can expense the trip

Out of love. I’m in my mid-40s and don’t have my drivers license. I never got behind the wheel and learned to drive, because I grew up in NYC. My husband and I have been married for 21 years, and he drives me everywhere. If he’s not there, I call my young half sister. She’s 21.

Rarely! I really hate nighttime highway driving and he knows it. He’d much rather have me happy at home to greet him.

I know a woman who is now in her mid-60s like you and not being able to drive is a huge burden on people.

This is so entitled, you can learn to drive and not make other people treat you like a child.

Who was taking care of the kids while you were gone?

DHs company pays for him to park (he travels once a quarter) and we use the points he earns to park for free when we travel. So never. If I go somewhere alone, I don't really want him to drive me. Planes get delayed, traffic can be bad. I can wait the 35 min to see him.

Gross. I can't imagine being this helpless.

Before having kids once in a while. Now never. We travel so often that it would too much of a burden. Maybe when travel is for personal reasons of if she doesn’t feel welll, I would do it.

It’s not helpless, it’s called love. LOL. What a concept right?

How does she function at her destination then?

She functions fine.

Clearly not since she's scared to take Ubers. But thanks for playing.

Since when does preferring something mean you're scared of the other option?

I don't travel for work, so the free part doesn't apply, but I was traveling out of town relatively often to care for a sick parent out of state. I'm fine with uber, and took ubers from the airport to my parent's, but I will admit that the few times someone picked me up, it was nice to see a friendly face, and have company on the ride. It has nothing to do with being scared.

You can still learn to drive. I'm a "I never pick him up" poster. I'm mid 40s too. Both of us grew up in big European cities and didn't drive either.

You know what I did out of love? I learned to drive..so I could pick him up at the airport when he came back from 6 months of deployment overseas.

But these days, 20 years later, no, I don't pick him up at the airport, particularly not when he can expense the ride at the end of a work trip.

I travel weekly for work. There are very few circumstances where I would want my wife to pick me up or drop me off. Between flight delays and cancellations to my own schedule needing to adjust I prefer the control and not inconveniencing my spouse. And yes I expense all my travel.

It's called a burden. Every time someone has to do something for another adult that they should have learned a long time ago is a burden.
