[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 639921, member: 1550"] You did just fine. She is not owed a car. All my kids used our older car and when they dinked it up because they hit things at first, it stayed that way until they fixed it. It lasted ttwo kids. I have no idea why some parents and many teens think they need to get to purchase cars for kids, even if there isn't public trans around. They can use our cars. I think it's being a better mom NOT to buy a car for a non-working kid than to buy one. So on my scale, you're a stellar mom. difficult child 37 always whined about not having a nice car and actually said "The girls won't like me if I don't have a nice car." Haha. No, the girls won't like you if you're not nice ;) These days the divorce humbled him. He can't drive his new Camarro's anymore. He has a car...I don't recall which kind he bought, but it's like a Toyota or Honda. Yeah, gas is expensive too, 37 :) If we teach them, they do learn. Usually!!!! [/QUOTE]
