[QUOTE="ksm, post: 708278, member: 12511"] Today I spent over 4 hours with older Difficult Child. Three days ago she had a flat tire and left her car on a street. It was legally parked. I told her that we could use my AAA membership to get it towed. But she assured me a friend had a spare tire he was going to loan her. I warned her that the car could get towed. She said she checked the car every day to make sure the police had not put a notice on it that it needed to be moved. I told her that I wasn't sure she would get a 6 day notice like she believed. Once again, I was right. I drove by that street and noticed her car was gone. I reached a friend where she had been staying, to warn her. Then we spent 4 hours getting things straightened out. The towing company said $50 if we got it by 5pm. We couldn't drive it away because of the flat tire. I made her call and we found a used tire. Then the people at the car place helped her remove the tire, then we took tire to get new used tire placed on the rim, then back to the car place to put tire on. I asked their office if I could use my AAA card to pay for them helping us change the tire. And guess what?? She said AAA pays the same for a tire change as the tow (was towed 4 blocks). So she would call it even! I told Difficult Child that the costs incurred for tire would be considered part of her birthday present in two weeks. She turns 19. Next week...her car insurance runs out. From one crisis to another. No job...but she said she is "planning" on applying for jobs. Uhhh...she has had all week to apply for jobs... Ksm [/QUOTE]
