Hi, all; haven't had much chance to post today, got a little chance to check in now.

Rosie, how old are the siblings doing this? Based on my experience with that type of thing, I'd venture to guess that until they get old enough to have to drive others themselves (or to have to do something similar for others) and know what it's like to be inconvenienced by someone else like that, they won't be able to appreciate what you're doing for them or how it inconveniences you when they do that type of thing. Unfortunately I suspect the only luck you're going to have getting them to improve is if you stop driving them for a while and afterwords start a new policy that every time they do that, you won't drive them.

I think I'm gonna be a lot more strict in the future.

But every time I say that, I give in when they end up stuck somewhere...because most people would be far MORE inconvenienced than I would having to pick them up.

Part of it is just personality differences. I'm the sort of person who will be somewhere at ten of when asked to meet, and have a VERY clear idea on WHERE to meet...they just aren't. And it drives me batty! I would NEVER have treated an adult like that at their ages.

By the way, I'm Ruthy!

I used to hang out in here a lot, but life gets in the way.
