For not driving my brother today? He's 15 so I typically drive him places when I can. I have plans today so when he wasn't ready by 10 (time he said we'd leave), I waited.. And waited. And then it was 11:30 so I left, leaving him stranded at home.

NTA. if you had to remind him that much it means he doesn’t respect you enough. Hopefully he’ll learn, unless your parents berate you in front of him. Personally I would’ve started yelling to get his ass in the car or else

Our parents are mad because I should've dropped him off on my way to lunch but his friend's house is the opposite direction. Hopefully his friend can pick him up but I reminded him we needed to go 3 different times and warned him at 10:30 that if we don't leave in the next hour, I'm leaving on my own since I already have plans. And my parents can't do anything because they're at a friend's funeral today.

He made his bed by not getting ready, even after you told him when you were leaving. He can lie in it now and stay home because he can’t respect your time. NTA, but help him realize why this was not simply being mean (if he’s open to hearing you out).

you either misrepresented this story or just needed some validation… the answer is very cut and dry and i think you knew that

bruh they’re mad at you for not taking him to HIS FRIENDS HOUSE after waiting an hour and a half ???? i thought it was like school or something important but that’s ridiculous, you have your own life to stay on top of.

I mean originally I felt like I did nothing wrong but then my parents started chewing me out. After they yelled at me I started I wondering if I was being too selfish. My bad for asking for other people's opinions 🤷
