Do you tend to write down a list of bullet points every time a loved one needs help?

"Child" includes some years where they can drive.

Being an adult doesn't mean you will never need help from your parents again.

If mom is at work, why is leaving work the preferable option to dad leaving fishing? That also doesn't mean she hasn't been told.

They're driving their mom's car, they obviously are still living at home and probably don't have a ton of money for a taxi, especially since dad could just stop fishing and come pick them up.

Married couples are usually both owners of their vehicles and on the same insurance plans, so dad could most likely handle insurance and accident related things.

I love how much you over analyze this st*pid meme so upvotes from me.

Still, and just for the sake of argument, your elaboration would justify the following responses: (note that this list is not exhaustive)

• You are old enough to help yourself.
• Does mom already known? / Have you told mom?
• I'm too far out, go take a taxi / I'll call you a taxi.
• I can't come but I'm here for you when you want to talk or text with me.

While this list is far from exhaustive, consciously not included is muting the conversion and shutting their child off. The point of the meme is that dad ignores child instead of helping or supporting them in any way.

And to finally enter the meta level: I don't think this is real. I think it's photoshoped or something, doesn't look like AI but more likely than not it's fake
