[QUOTE="Kathy813, post: 48190, member: 1967"] Well, I should have known (it seems like I start a lot of my posts like that). difficult child did not get her car inspected or registered today. Why you may ask? She "had" to let her roommate borrow her car today and the roommate didn't get back from work until after the tag office closed. Hmmmm, let's see. Where do I start? What could a responsible adult have done in this situation? 1) Not wait until the last day to get this done. 2) Refuse to let the roommate borrow the car. 3) Offer to get out of bed early and take roommate to work and then pick her up when she was done so that difficult child could use her car to get the inspection and registration done. But, no, not my difficult child. She is just going to pay the late fee. husband pointed out that if she gets stopped in the meantime (which happened to her a couple of years ago in this same situation) she will get a fine on top of the late fee. Why or why can't they ever learn from past mistakes???? I know that everyone makes mistakes but intelligent people learn from them. Or should I say non difficult children learn from them.
