When you live in a house with other people, it is nice to help each other out whenever you can.

What would you do if your dad’s girlfriend (who lives with you) got upset that you didn’t take her kids to school in the morning, even though she didn’t ask you to do it that day?

That is what happened to the young lady in this story, so she told their mom to take her own kids from now on, but that is causing drama in the house.

AMTAH for wanting to tell my dad’s GF that she can take her own kids to school?

I (17F) live with my dad and his gf.

Well, this will be a big adjustment for everyone.

She moved in at the beginning of the year after a major storm with her two kids that are 4 and 6.

I drive myself to school in the morning and sometimes I take her 2 kids to school some mornings. She is an officer and has started working night shifts 5pm-6am.

That’s a lot of time she is spending on this.

She has plenty of time to get them up and ready for school and does that at 6-7.

It’s about a 15 minute drive from my house to town/the school and it takes 30 full round for the daycare, primary school and then to my school.

She thinks she only needs to take care of herself this morning.

This morning I woke up at 7 since I wasn’t told by anyone I’d be taking them to school (I leave at 7 to get them and myself to school on time).

I was dressed by 7:10 and she said they were about to leave and then I started doing my makeup.

Clearly, there was some type of miscommunication.

7:30 rolls around and I was about to leave. She comes to the bathroom and starts yelling at me while I was keeping a neutral tone with her.

I ended up taking them since she called my dad and started complaining to him.

She shouldn’t have to be late to take them, that is the parent’s job.

I ended up being 15 minutes late and was marked absent. AITAH for wanting to tell her she can take her own kids to school?

AITA?

No, if it wasn’t agreed upon the day before, she is not obligated to take them. And if the mom has time anyway, why wouldn’t she just do it?

Let’s take a look at the top commenters of this story and see what they had to say about it.

Yeah, she is not a parent and shouldn’t be expected to be.

It is this simple.

Here is a commenter who says the mom needs to communicate better.

This is exactly right.

Yes, the dad needs to step in here.

Sorry, Mom, drive your own kids.
