Picture this: it’s summertime, and you’re the only one in your family who doesn’t work. Your sister, a single mom, needs help with childcare and asks you to pick up her kids from summer camp every day. You agree, but then disaster strikes – your car breaks down, and it’s not worth fixing. You realize you only use the car for this one task, and you’d rather bike everywhere else. So, you decide not to buy a new car and tell your sister you can’t pick up her kids anymore. She’s furious, and now you’re left wondering if you’re in the wrong. Let’s dive into this family drama!

Carless and Carefree?

Our protagonist finds themselves in a pickle when their car breaks down, leaving them unable to pick up their sister’s kids from summer camp. They’ve been helping their single mom sister with childcare, but now they’re questioning if they should buy a new car just for this purpose. They prefer biking and don’t want to spend money on a car they’ll barely use. The sister is mad, as she can’t afford the late pick-up fees and doesn’t know anyone else who can help. Is it reasonable to expect our bike-loving friend to buy a car just for this? Let’s see what the internet thinks of this situation…
