[QUOTE="Shari, post: 387939, member: 1848"] This isn't strke 3. I guess it could be, depending on how you look at it. I wouldn't be out of line to say "buh-bye... figure it out". The first car used oil like there was no tomorrow. I gave a benefit of the doubt on that one. For sure, tho, he did not help it with the complete lack of maintenance on it. The second car, I told him he had to take care of it. He didn't. But I never gave a "what if". I figure I'll just treat him like one of the kids. The difference would hav ebeen that I'd have already told the kids if they blew that car up, they'd be walking. Guess I was still living in lala land hoping he'd get it before he ruined another one. So this has the potential to be strike 3. And I realize that stuff happens. So...like with this car, if he had routinely changed the oil, replaced the brakes as they got worn instead of letting them dig into the rotors, etc, and it still blew...I wouldn't be blaming him. Same for the truck. If he treats it like he can't ever have another one, and it still blows up? Fine. Stuff happens. He treats it like he has the previous cars and trucks? It is NOT my problem anymore. Probably should be that way now...but he doesn't get it. So I'll be his mama and lay it out in black and white. [/QUOTE]
