[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well, you're basically saying they should wait around for an hour because you've decided to marry and push a stepsibling into their household. That's what it boils down to. I don't know why you would expect a teen to be happy about that. Teens like autonomy and will perceive a stepfamily, or really any family, as a loss of autonomy for them. Not saying you were wrong to remarry but realistically you did this because it's good for you and the teens are just stuck with it.[/quote]

Um, if OP was not in the picture, who would be picking up her stepkid? Why can't that person pick up the kid?[/quote]

If i wasn’t in the picture today, and he had asked to go to this activity, his parent would probably have said no, because he wouldn’t have had a way to transport him.  Or maybe he would have had him to take the metro there and then ubered to activity #2, which still would have involved waiting.[/quote]

honestly, maybe the answer is to try to get BOTH kids to take metro and uber more rather than you being the chauffeur.

but yeah, exactly, this kid is getting driven around MORE because you married his parent. Not less.

They both metro plenty.  This particular day the schedule didn’t work to metro back. [/quote]
