The ML Show: Parents Got Me A Range And Now I'm Their Uber

Transcript

00:00We've got DM drama. I'm interested to hear what you guys think. My mom and dad bought me a new

00:05Range Rover. Oh, and it must be nice. And I love it. I'm so thankful. But now my mom and dad make

00:14me drive my little brother and sister everywhere. It's like I'm the family Uber. Since they bought

00:21it for me, I feel like they think that this is my payback and it's really annoying. Yes,

00:27that is exactly what you are. You are officially the family Uber and you should be grateful for that

00:33Range Rover. Really? Hold on a second. Is it fair for you to buy your child a new vehicle and then say

00:46now drive the kids, your brothers and sisters are everywhere? Yes, it is. That is fair. It's fair

00:52under my roof. Now, granted, I'm not there yet, but Dean will be old enough to drive Ruby places and I'm

00:56sure I'll use him. But if you bought now, listen, you're talking to somebody who had their parents

01:01bought me a new car when I did not. OK, I had to buy my first car and I was thankful for my parents.

01:06Now, I was also the youngest, so I wasn't driving anyone anywhere. But also, it's a gift. And let's

01:12not use the gift as a weapon. Parents, I mean, you either give them give him or her the ring. I think

01:20it was a woman, a teenage woman. Yeah, teenage girl. So so you either give her the Range Rover

01:25and say you're a great student. You are a great child. We love you. This is our gift to you. But

01:30you can't give her the Range Rover and say, since we gave that to you, yes, you have to take Molly

01:34to cheerleading. I'm telling you, that's not right. I don't know. Listen, parents are going to do it,

01:43but that's not right. Either give them the gift or don't. I wish I was your kid. I really do. I think

01:49it is completely fair to ask her to drive the other two siblings around. I don't know. Someone

01:55says, give it back and stop driving it then. Problem solved. That's not right, though, because

01:59the parents gifted it to her. The parents didn't hand her the keys, I'm assuming, and say,

02:04so you're saying welcome to the family Uber. You're what you're saying is that there maybe should

02:09have been a conversation beforehand by the parents like, hey, we're going to get you a car,

02:13but we're going to need your help taking 100% Molly and Jack around 100%. So here's what you say.

02:20Say, listen, I want to go do something with my friends. I'm going to drop them off, but tomorrow

02:25I'm not driving any of the brothers or sisters. Like just because you gave me this car doesn't mean

02:29that you control what I do and where I go. Then don't give me the gift. Lauren, if I got you

02:34a new, I don't know, a new computer, right? And I said, and you put rules on it and I was your kid

02:41and I lived under your roof. Isn't that kind of what you do with Dean? Okay. Yeah. Do you see where

02:49I'm going with this? Maybe.
