[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't get this mentality, but my father had the same mindset:  there is something about being picked up/dropped off at the airport by family that means something and asking him to take a cab was like some kind if rejection or insult.   Had nothing to do with the $$ saved on cab fare, either.  [/quote]

+1. My mom is like this.  She would be highly insulted if we asked her to take the metro or taxi or super shuttle.  Now, to her credit, she understands that rush hour traffic is insane and would be flexible on her arrival time so we aren't picking her up in rush hour traffic or she would offer to eat at the airport and wait for us etc. if there was no other option on flights.  I could in a strange way see her not get insulted if we had a car service for a time we were in a pinch.  So bottom line, DH can say he can do it, but not until later that day so he is only catching some of rush hour traffic and they wait at the airport till he can get there or he and his brother go in for a car service.  Give up forcing the taxi idea unless you want this to cause problems.[/quote]
