[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 413493, member: 84"] Hmm I understand the problem. You and boyfriend have dished out quite a bit of cash to get his car up and running to help him due to him making right choices. You've given him rides to and from work for those right choices. Nothing wrong with that. And I do see boyfriend's point of hey we put x amt of bucks into this car and if he gets pulled over driving without a license we just lost x amt of dollars for basically nothing. I see his point because I would have the same issue as money is too tight around here not to think that way. Enabling/helping can be a tight wire. You're not going to be perfect at it. If it had been me, I'd have specified up front that he wouldn't drive the car until he got his license back, still might have fixed it had I the money. Hindsight is 20/20 though and if that wasn't in the original agreement I wouldn't go changing rules on him now. We all know how difficult children do with that sort of thing.......and well, it's not really fair play. He's a grown up. He knows the risk involved with driving without a license. [/QUOTE]
