[QUOTE="Bean, post: 366517, member: 8620"] I agree with everything everyone else said. In our state, not only do you need a parent to sign (and prove that they drove you there and not the kid driving), but you also need to pay for it. Don't sign, don't pay for it, and tell him he needs to wait another 6months without violating the rules before you'll give it another thought. As others said, there's no good that's going to come from him having a license, not with the behavioral pattern he's already showing. Loved the idea of giving the neighbor the key. Giving easy child a key puts too much control in her hands. There's no way she can say no to a manipulating older (difficult child) sibling. This incident was a good example of that. Sometimes we need those things to happen to see the bigger picture. difficult child can badger, bully and break down their younger siblings like no tomorrow. Good thing for you to get away. Sometimes it is hard to do, and difficult child always have a way of attempting to sabotage your good time. But now you know what could happen, and you can prepare differently for the next time. Best wishes, momma. [/QUOTE]
