Which one is wrong? Or am I wrong?

My daughter 24 years old and my husband both suggest that she drop her car off at the train station and I would retrieve it. Its five miles away from our house. I usually walk 3 miles a day so the extra two miles doesnt bother me.

I get to the train station this morning and her car isnt there. After I went to sleep, they decided that my husband will drop off my daughter to the train station and then he took her car to go and play golf. No note, no nothing. I was then forced to walk an additional five miles home, making it 10 miles. Needless to say, my feet hurt and I am pissed.

What do you think?

Update:

I called my daughter. Thats how I found out the car wasnt there but she was at the airport waiting for a flight out to Florida and my husband was on the golf course.

    I would be pissed too!!! But hey, life is to short to get mad and get into a fight. You said they suggested it...did you confirm and say you would do it? It's over and done with now. You had one heck of a workout today :-)

    I know, it's not the extra 5 miles walk, it's your family not including you in their plans, get MAD, get very MAD, then it won't happen again. They love you, but you must be very passive, which is great, but it's also great to have Daddy & children a slight (slight I said) bit worried about Mum, tell them how you felt, without a row, ask them how they would feel in the same situation, if they don't apologise, then no dinner for a week. I always had "running away money" stashed away, it wasn't much but it was enough for an overnight stay in an hotel, after 20 years of marriage,I never had to use it, but I still have it as Mum going off for a night would put them all in their box.

    Grab your bag & with no apologies, say you're going away for a night. That will sort them all.

    I can barely deal with the 4 mile walk at my favorite park. 10 miles? Yeah, somebody should have told you. Obviously they either don't care or just spaced it out completely. Are they apologetic at all?

    Is this a usual thing in your marriage - forgetfulness, disrespect, being inconsiderate? If it's a one-time slip-up, forgive and forget; everyone makes mistakes. If it's a pattern - well, takes two to tango, doesn't it? Maybe you need to stop being a doormat and start demanding more respect?

    They were wrong for not letting you know, all they had to do was call and tell of the last minute changes. It would have been easier for her to walk and leave the car at the house

    I would be pissed to!! Let them both know how inconsiderate they are and make your husband take you on a nice date to make up for it since he got to play golf now it's your turn to do something fun!!

    You should be pissed. They completely disrespected you and took you for granted.

    Tell them you are making a family dinner on a certain day, and when they are all around the table, tell them you changed your mind, one of them is supposed to cook dinner for everyone. Then ask them how it feels. (I have done it- I don't get taken for granted anymore)

    it was inconsiderate but you got a good workout so I guess its a win/lose situation. Basically its a lack of communication and its frustrating and you have a right to be mad.

    How unbelievably rude. Give them bread and water for a week then forget it. Tell them if this happens again, all hell is gonna break lose.

    I think you probably have walked those "extra two miles" your entire marriage.

    Sorry but no man of mine would think to do this without knowing they would lose at least one testicle.

    And Jesus, have you heard of a cell phone? Are you all that broke?
