So my mom is really P*SSING ME OFF!!
A little background: My mom got a chevy Trailblazer back in 2007, and not long after my dad got a Nissan Versa. Lately my family has been having some serious financial problems (who hasn't?) - so the versa got repossessed. To make a very long story short, he ended up with a 85 Jeep Grand Cherokee that has no a/c. My father works out of town so he uses the Trailblazer because it is the more reliable car. My mom only has to use it for between 2 - 4 days every other week.
I just got back into the country after being in England since early May. Before I left, my car died and I didn't bother to get a new one. Tuesday night I went with my dad to get this 99 Ford Tarus that, among other good things, has working a/c. My mom was complaining about having to use the Jeep so I told her if she gives me some money to help me out with gas I would drive her to and from work every day (11 miles each way). I totally sympathised with her - I would hate having to show up to work all sweaty and smelly because my car has no a/c.
But it IS my car, so I don't feel she has the right to just use it all the time. I drove her to get cigarettes yesterday and this morning she borrowed my car to drop my little sister off at school. I went to spend some time with a friend I haven't seen since before I went to England, and was gone from about 3 pm - 9 pm. While I was out she called me to ask if I was coming home because she wanted to run some errands and she wanted to borrow my car. I told her I hadn't planned on coming home until after dinner and she just made an irritated noise and said "Fine." and hung up on me. I was frustrated but just rolled my eyes and got over it.
When I got home she was in the Kitchen and she gave me the money for this weekend and told me that she has to work tomorrow night. I was dissapointed that she can't make it to the GTG wtih me tomorrow, but I understand because she really needs the money. So I asked what time she gets off and it's at 9 pm. I told her I didn't know if I can pick her up because of the GTG. I know we're meeting at 5 but we might not even be finished until like 7 - 7:30 and it will take me 45 mins to get home (assuming the traffic is not terrible). She just freaked out on me and said "Well I can't drive that Jeep again, it almost gave me a heat stroke!!"
I am just so furious right now. Apparently because I happen to have a car with a/c and she doesn't, I'm supposed to just sit at home at her beck and call like a personal chauffeur. I know I told her that I can drive her to and from work all weekend, but she knew BEFORE she told her manager that she can work tomorrow night that I had plans. I am definitely going to tell her that I will drive her to work and home, but she can not say A WORD if I am late. I don't think I should have to cut my plans short just because she doesn't want to use the Jeep!!!
