[QUOTE="Lil, post: 631230, member: 17309"] :censored2:The nerve this kid has never ceases to amaze me. He has sat down and put in six job apps today, or at least emailed places with ads. Mostly office work; he has a lot of computer skills. He also talked with the mother of his friend who got the job at the factory I mentioned earlier and she said they are still hiring and he should go back and apply. At their job fair they were doing applications, interviews and drug tests all at once and it's possible he might be hired on the spot. They were hiring production, office and warehouse. It's also too far to walk and no bus runs there. Yes, we could have told him to ride a bike...but do we really want him to get there all sweaty and nasty (it's HOT here) or just not go at all? So, while son didn't ask for the car, husband and I talked and decided to let him use it. JUST for this ONE place. We know where it is. We know how far it is. We're writing down the mileage and we'll check it. He may stop at stores along the route to see if any are hiring, but he goes straight there and straight back. Period. We tell him this. Does he thank us? No. He thinks our checking mileage is ... overboard or something. I tell him, "We don't HAVE to let you use the car at all. YOU lost that privilege...not only that, you could have gone any time last week before you lost the car. So you can take it or leave it." He just "knows the last month didn't go like it should; he just doesn't want this 'hanging over his head.'" Basically, my kid's an a-hole. :disgust: [/QUOTE]
