So a situation has come up recently that has been confusing me and I thought I would get an outside opinion on the situation.
For context I don’t drive and usually my mom picks me up after work. But she has been out of state helping my sister with her new baby for a month and a half.
Now this has been planned for months and I worked out rides home from friends and neighbors and the bus for most of the week.
However two days I couldn’t get a ride and I asked my coworker if she could take me home, as she drives past my house on her way home.
I did this long before my mom left to makes sure I would have time to get a different ride if she couldn’t do it and she said it was fine.
She has been taking me home those two days every week since my mom left.
Last week she sent me a text that she would need gas money and that I would need to let her know that I would need a ride. And that she felt like I was taking advantage of her for a free ride.
And my confusion is that I had told her I would need the ride twice a week prior to my mom being gone. And that she has been doing this for a month and a half and only now is asking for gas money.
So I’m just wondering if this was some kind of social thing I didn’t pick up on. Like does it sound like I was taking advantage of her?
(ps : I am giving her the gas money and have found different rides from friends for the remainder of the time my mom is away)
