[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My parents have heard too many bad stories about Uber, and wouldn't feel comfortable using the service. They're old, I get it.[/quote]

Depends which airport. Sometimes the wait for a taxi is an hour in the cold. I'm not going to put them through that to save myself a short drive![/quote]

Where and when did that happen to you? I have found regular taxi lines to be shorter nowadays, probably because so many people use Uber/Lyft instead.

I agree there needs to be a bit of balance/give and take.  We pick up when we can but have family that tends to be respectful too.  My ILs are actually flying in tomorrow for a long weekend, arriving at bwi during rush hour (only southwest offers direct flights from their city).  Upon telling us their flight schedule, they immediately said they would take a cab from their airport to the hotel and come over Saturday morning rather than try to squeeze in a late visit tomorrow during bedtime (our kids are 3 and 5).  DH works in Virginia so it would have been a slog for him to get there and they recognize that.  Similarly, when we fly to visit them we often just rent a car now than have them drive nearly an hour to pick us up and try to play Tetris in their cars with the kids car seats.  [/quote]
