[QUOTE="Star*, post: 211212, member: 4964"] You know - There are these things in life that we have to weigh - like to interfere and interject into an adult difficult child's life or a teen difficult child's life and when you HEAR people explain TOUGH LOVE FOR ALL SITUATIONS - I have met FEW in my life that could adhere to it. (my mom would be one) She really does NOT get involved and has probably lived longer because of it. HOWEVER - I was not a difficult child (mostly :raspberry-tounge:) and having to deal with my life, my son, his "things" it has made me pretty able at assessing a situation and going "Hmmmmm now.....if I don't get involved or help maintain HOW is this going to affect MY life later?" and make my very reserved choices based on those thoughts. BECAUSE a lot of times I did that in my life and it ended up WORSE for me. (as is the case with your husband not doing his part on his own car.) IF the car is salvagable? I would make sure that I took time out of MY one day a month or every 3000 miles whichever is sooner more of an insurance policy so to speak than a "favor" to an ungrateful troll. Then I would take his car to WM auto shop and get them to oil change or take it to Jiffy Lube on Wed. (ladies day) and get the stuff fixed and topped off. I have done my own maint. for so long when husband took over it took me nearly a year to not check up behind him or whatever. I'm okay with it now. Sure - I am.....wink wink.....that's why I called the Auto shop the morning the manifold gaskets blew - (I thought it was freeze plugs) but what do I know? $500 later and no #)($_) from a husband I'm poor but happy and my car runs. Maybe this is one of those JUST GRIN AND BEAR IT BASKET ITEMS. ?? And the basket makes a lovely addition to any family crypt later on down the road. :raspberry-tounge: [/QUOTE]
