[QUOTE="Star*, post: 140856, member: 4964"] Meow - The last time that something similar came up the friend wanted ME to bring Dude to where he was because he didn't have gas to come get Dude AND go to the places they had planned. I couldn't leave the house so I offered the kid $20 to come to the house instead of me driving there and back. Dude was mortified. I thought I was doing a nice thing in offering the gas to the friend and instead I embarrassed my son because I was not cool enough to ride him all over hills and dale. The friend called back after Dude had told me I just embarrassed his friend so I grabbed the phone apologized for my offering cash and said that Dude had decided for his friend that the money was "so lame" that he would be going no where. I kid you not = 20 minutes later the friend showed up and of course Dude is standing there like he is ready to go and I said to the friend - Nice of you to Visit; Dude is not going anywhere. Then of course I am unfair - and this was the plan in the first place Mooooooooooom that friend came to the house and picked him up and they went from here - and I said (And I quote) The next time you two want to go somewhere I would advise that the ONLY part I play in your plans is being asked permission to GO. Not if I can be a human taxi, not if I will offer gas money and be told I'm lame - either stay here or leave me out of it, but figure out that me and my cash are NO LONGER part of the Saturday afternoon plans for two young men who are both just months away from being 18. -I got in my car and left and said - I don't know how soon I'll be back, but if you are not here when I come home at whatever time - I will have no choice but to call the cops, report you as a run away which violates your probation (looks lovingly at Dude) and makes you(looks lovingly at friend) an accessory or kidnapper. When I came home an hour later - both were there watching tv. I hate being included in plans that I'm not to be included in. [/QUOTE]
