Lol people on this site are ridiculous.

Yes that’s how it works. People are expected to contribute to the family. You don’t get a nice car for free. Her parents are shelling out hundreds a month. The least she can do is drive her sister a few miles away for 5 minutes..... lol wow.


Maybe the girl was low on cash and needed gas money. Even if that's not true, she's not a brat for asking. It doesn't mean she's not appreciative. There was no reason to blow up at the girl.

Could be at that moment she was actually out of gas and money.

As a teen I would ask for gas money only if I was low on cash and gas. Therefore if you want me to drive my sibling Mom better fork over some cash for gas because I have no money or gas to drive my sister.

As a parent I occasionally offer gas money to my kids for running errands for me. Not every time but if the kids are low on cash and need gas then I expect them to tell me.

I'm with you, OP.

We're old school. If DD was legitimately broke and had zero gas, that's fine. I get it.

But if she just insisted we pay for the little gas she's using to take her sibling somewhere, she'll be walking. For a long time.
