[QUOTE="meowbunny, post: 150398, member: 3626"] Um, why is she in control of the radio? My rule was that whoever drove got to pick the temperature, music, etc. The driver HAS to be comfortable for safety's sake, the passenger can suffer in silence and if the passenger can't be silent, the passenger can get out and walk (and I hope the weather is really yucky if that happens). I'd take her and explain that the first time she touched MY radio, she was getting out and walking. Further, since we were at these stores, while I was shopping she could get job apps or go to their computer and do the necessary. If she didn't, she could enjoy her walk home and if she doesn't come home, I'd be reporting her as a truant and runaway and let her know that is exactly what I would be doing. Sorry, but she's running your life and that's not the way it should be. She needs to learn that as she gets older she has more responsibilities and the privileges only come when you are responsible. People are not going to bend over backwards to give her what she needs, let alone what she wants. As hard as it is, it is at this age that we have to really teach them this. [/QUOTE]
