[QUOTE="WiseChoices, post: 754534, member: 24254"] Same here. We gave son one of our cars to go to college with, and were accused of dumping our *sh#* on him, that we just wanted to get rid of it. It was worth $3K at the time and I could have traded it in towards a new car. He trashed it out until we signed it over and told him he was 100% responsible for everything concerning his car. He let a friend drive it while they were both high and totalled it. Only then did he realize and apologized and said he know understood we had been wanting to give him a good start into adulthood with a paid for car. Uhm, yes, exactly. I am learning that giving young people things without them having to work for them does not work. For xmas, we kept it very simple. Gift card for food for $50 and gift card for gas for $50. Considering that son had , again, nothing for us, not even a card, I am glad we went this route. [/QUOTE]
