Frustrated 🤬

Advice Needed

First off — I really love my family and I’ve been with them for over 3 years. But the past year or so there has been a huge construction issue (apt complex being built across the street) and multiple houses on their street being renovated. They have a small driveway and MB works from home so if I’m able to park behind her it becomes an issue with swapping vehicles/not always easiest with 2 nks etc. I have to fight for a parking spot every single day bc the construction workers take the spots on the street. I think that the most irritating part some days I just want to cry when I come to work because if I have 5 min until start time I have to sometimes park all the way at the end of the street and lug all of my belongings on a 5-7 min walk, not ideal.

A couple months ago I got 2 nails in my tire at $50 each were able to patch. Yesterday I ended up with a completely flat tire, more than likely will have to replace the entire thing. I have found a nail on the side of the street where I park and I KNOW it’s from all of the construction.

I’m trying not to have misplaced anger/annoyance over the situation with MB bc I know she can’t help this but I need some sort of resolution. What would y’all do? Ask to solely park in the driveway? Would you ask to temporarily add to contract that any other tire repairs need to be reimbursed until construction is done? I feel like I’m overreacting but I am on my last nerve with this shit.
