[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 644309, member: 1550"] And we find that whether or not we buy them transportation they still find excuses not to work, to quit a job they have, to go where they aren't supposed to be etc. And then they want gas money and drive recklessly so the car always needs repair and, let's face it, most of our difficult children are not on track to get high level jobs...maybe burger flipping at best. Sometimes it only gives t hem more mobility to get into trouble, as I learned. Once we took Daughter's car away she had to rely on friends and I knew, in my heart, that if anything happened, I had done all I could to prevent it. It would not be in MY car. My daughter was no more reliable when she took drugs than her friends. I did not want to be the one paying for the trouble she may get into. [/QUOTE]
