Friends taking advantage (Vent)

[misty]

I'm not a big fan of fighting your kids battles for them, but in this case, I think I would make an exception. I would ring her, myself and very politely but clearly explain just how much an hour she would have to pay for a mechanic to do this job. $100 is a pittence, your son gave up his free time for her for nothing!
If DS decides to do any 'mates rates' jobs in future, I'd be asking for cash up front prior to any work being done.

Yep, this. That is so not on. She is an ADULT. Not one of his friends. And she made an agreement with him. Not cool.

Trust me, I've offered to ring her and to go to her house but DS wants to wait until Wednesday. If she doesn't come I will be going to her house on Thursday, Misty, you are spot on, she is an adult, just not acting like one.

Regards,
Dianne

Yep, I'd give her till Wednesday and that would be it!
