[QUOTE="WiseChoices, post: 753662, member: 24254"] Yes, and how am I going to the change? I cannot sleep over this tonight .I feel like I need to take he keys tomorrow. I cannot accept the lies because it will lead to more lies down the road about other stuff like drugs in the house. At this moment, with my heart pounding, I am thinking that I will sit both of my kids down and tell them I suspect they partied in Grandfather's car during my absence. I will give them a chance to come clean. I will then state to son that 1. I don't believe he did not smoke in the car. I believe he lied to me and that is why he wanted to drive with windows down and I did smell smoke (1st violation of contract) 2. He did not clean the car in my absence once a week as per contract 3. When confronted with this, and given the chance to clean up the car, he only cleaned outside of car and then told me "he did not feel like doing the inside" which is not acceptable to me . I will say it is disrespectful of the $15,000 asset that is the car and of my Father and of me. I will tell him that he needs to turn in the car keys after he has restored the car to how it was given to him. I will say the way I see it the only chance he has now is to call his Grandfather, come clean with the contract violations, and see what girlfriend says . If girlfriend takes car back, son can ask me nicely for a big favor of taking him to work every day and he will need to pay me for gas $2.50 each trip . What do you all think of my plan? Son may throw a fit (he most likely will) , he may even quit his very good job over this and go live with his thug friend in the trailer park in the big city 2 hours away. But I can't act on what he may or may not do and his future is not on my hands. It is in his. I don't like having to do this but his disrespect is so blatant that I cannot accept it. What do you all think? Am I overreacting? He is 24 by the way. [/QUOTE]
