He has been friends with M since last year. They spent a lot of time together since summer. I’ve met her once. M is 16 and my son just turned 17.M’s mom got her second OVI and uses a breathalyzer to start and drive her car. Yesterday she couldn’t drive to the nail salon because she “spilled perfume on the front seat” . (Her son M has a temp license and drove her there. He asked my son if he could pick her up at 1:45pm since he shouldn’t really be driving without an adult. )They arrive there on time and she’s not done. They wait 45 minutes. The mom asks my son to drive her to Walmart since it’s Black Friday. Told him her car was broke and thanks for the ride. Son drops her off; she tells him she will find a ride home. Son and M go skating when a few minutes later she texts my son to pick her up. She couldn’t find a ride. My son tells her he’s not her Uber and it’s not his problem. Her oldest son picked her up and drove her home.Last week he picked up and dropped of M to work because the mom had been drinking. She gave him $10 for gas.I am a chicken shit and suck at confrontation. Should I call this mom and tell her how inappropriate it is to text my son for rides? My son handled the last one really well with “I’m not your Uber”.My son didn’t believe her excuses and knows she has issues with alcohol. He feels bad for his friend because he knows he is embarrassed. M is a good kid.Any advice appreciated. Please be kind. This is the first time I’ve dealt with anything like this. via /r/Parenting https://ift.tt/2R7sUjS
