[QUOTE="Albatross, post: 644274, member: 17720"] In my case we bought a car for easy child when she turned 18 so she could get to college classes 30 miles away and her part-time job. Before that she had established her reliability with walking to work, keeping her grades up, etc. husband and I got sucked into the "not fair" game with difficult child and bought him a car when he turned 18 as well. In retrospect we probably knew it wouldn't end well, but I think we as parents think of all the things that are preventing difficult children from doing what we think they are supposed to be doing. Lack of transportation certainly would have been one of his defenses if he DIDN'T have a car, but having one didn't change anything. [/QUOTE]
