[QUOTE="HereWeGoAgain, post: 47997, member: 3485"] Mikey, Sure she's enabling him. She "can't tell him to stop?" Why not? He may not stop, but she can tell him. Other things she does to enable: drives car, tries to cover for him from you, bestows affection, makes excuses. How come he still gets to drive his car, or gets access to let her drive it for him? Doesn't he owe you for making payments when he was sick and not working? Or did she drive him in her car? (More enabling.) I believe you do have the right, since he is still a minor, to forbid him to use the car. I believe I recall you saying that the law in your state (Missouri? or Kansas?) requires you to take him back until he's 18, but you do not have to let him have a car or a private room (i.e., take the bedroom door off its hinges). And you could tell them you're going to report the underage drinking next time (and do it). [/QUOTE]
