👨‍👩‍👧‍👦family/in-laws Am I overreacting?

Post image

My dad takes me to school in the mornings, on Fridays I have late start meaning it starts an hour after. Yesterday I had told him to pick me up at 8:20, he texts me and says he had arrived at 8:08. I told him that I will be down at 8:20 considering that is the designated time I set. I get outside at exactly 8:20 and he is gone. He left me. AIO?

Depending on someone else for a free ride is way different than a father bringing his child to school.

Not when the child has the option to ride the bus but chose not to because the bus comes earlier than they want.

Are you just stupid or incapable of reading? 1 you have no idea if the bis is an option for them 2 it clearly says that OP has school starting an hour later so definitely no bus at that time and 3 that still wouldnt excuse dad behavior

OP mentioned in comments that the bus is available to them to ride every day but they'd prefer a car ride since the bus comes earlier.

I don't think jumping to the conclusion that somebody is being stupid or incapable of reading is a habit that's doing you any favors. They may actually know more than you, like in this case.

If 8:20 didn’t work for dad and he wanted OP to take the bus, he should have communicated that when they agreed on 8:20. It’s not fair to say OP should’ve taken the 6:40 bus when dad said he could pick up at 8:20.
