[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sounds like a cultural difference.  I would never tell a visiting family member to take a cab or uber.  [b]Most minority cultures are like that.[/b]  Still not you fault, your husband should have known better and explained it to you when you made the suggestion.  You and the baby should not even have been involved.  I'm on a mixed culture marriage.  The same thing happens when it comes to houseguest, taking care of families etc.  I just expect more out of adults.[/quote]

Midwestern white here.

No one where I am from would ever do what OP and "grown ass" would do either.

I think it is a DC thing.

This is a very selfish, self centered, entitled area and has been for many years, at least the past 10 years (before the orange guy)[/quote]

Probably because you don’t have lyft/uber or many other transportation options there (Marc, metro, shuttle), etc)[/quote]

Why is this a slam on typical Americans?  Typical Americans include white, Hispanic, AA?   Chat about relatives and transportation gets the same response from any of them.  NO ONE where DCA is the closest airport especially living in Arlington near DCA is going to drive round trip to get some cheap relative who booked to land in BWI which = Baltimore.

One friend in DC told BWI flyers to take Amtrak from the airport then metro.  Some relative expected pick up at Union station.  Get on a train in Manhattan but can't get from Union Station other than in my car?  If it's cheaper for some relative to get out of the train in Baltimore are you supposed to drive there also?  Next DCUM will have people drive from Rockville to Philly if some relative got a super cheap deal on a flight.[/quote]
