[QUOTE="meowbunny, post: 69937, member: 3626"] First, HUGS. Migraines really, really stink!!! Shame it's not the beginning of summer rather than beginning of school year or I'd be having "easy child" spend the summer with mom. Then he can call you and tattle on mom. Since you probably can't have mom keep the ingrate for a bit, maybe you can talk to her and tell she can't take sides, especially without all the facts. Maybe even play on her sympathy and explain there is just too much on your plate right now to cope with her judgments. If not, you may have to distance yourself from your mother, at least for awhile. I totally agree about the car -- he can walk or ride a bike or take the bus or call grandma. Few 16 year olds are mature enough to drive in my opinion and one with your son's attitude doesn't deserve it. He wants a car, he can work and buy it himself. Sometimes losing a job can be a blessing in disguise. Frightening at first, but it does give you a chance to see what alternatives are out there. Besides, you haven't lost it yet. If you think you will lose it, maybe now is the time to start looking for a new job? I wish you lots of luck and hope your head and gut are better soon. [/QUOTE]
