How much do you go out of your way to help these people with difficult lives? Like would you drive them everywhere, all the time?

How many of "those people" do you help out? Ever?

I doubt you do because if you did you wouldn't be on here bi&&&ng about it. IF not, it's none of your business how they get around.

I frequently drive my mooching friends around.

Notice you didn't answer the question.

I'm not the one judging them or belittling them, moron. I am an immigrant who has a parent that never learned how to drive so I extend this kid of help all the time. now you? How often do you drive people who can't drive?

to state again: "I frequently drive my mooching friends around."

But you seem to be coating the initial question with a lot of assumptions about what I'm asking. Why so escalated about asking about your limits?

So stop "helping" your mooching friends if you're going to be an ass about it. Simple.

If you can't help with an open heart, don't help at all.

This is probably the only way she is able to keep friends. She is so insufferable that if they didn’t need her for driving they’d most likely have nothing to do with her.

Methinks you might be a mooching friend.

There’s a fun can of worms. I guarantee most “functioning” adults (including the judgmental cows in this thread) have NEVER taken a course in CPR.

He refuses to learn and is happy for his wife to bear the burden of shuttling the kid places, running errands, taking him to his own doctor's appointments, etc. Occasionally he'll take an Uber. He does have a well-paying job that takes care of most of the family income but is also feckless in the kitchen, with cleaning, and with parenting and his willingness to abdicate all of this stuff onto his wife and not bother to learn to drive so she doesn't have to act as his chauffeur in addition to everything is is kind of pathetic. I can't understand being content with that kind of arrangement but they do their way. Yes, learning to drive is scary. Too bad.

Not a chance in h3ll would I put up with that situation. Dude would be walking to his appointments or not going.

He’d probably enjoy his long walks because he would be away from you.

Well my husband is a functioning adult who can drive. You seem might defensive.

Demanding others provide rides is immature and rude for sure but not having the ability to drive isn’t an issue in my opinion. To me it’s like people who decide to be vegan or only make their own bread when bakeries exist or whatever: they’re making their own lives harder but unless they’re making it my problem, I don’t see the issue.
