[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 650601, member: 1550"] Terry...most teens don't do that. It's not typical teen. Not one of my kids did that except Princess and she had three huge accidents, even after we took the car away. She used her "friends" cars. Even Bart never drank and drove or got a speeding ticket for going 100 mph. That can be something a teen tries one time, but you have to notice if it's a pattern. Your son hasn't had his license long and it is already causing trouble. Jumper has had her license for two years...no tickets at all and no dents, although minor dents can be normal if the adult child is remorseful. It's our difficult honeybuns who get into driving trouble. And the worst part is, no matter how hard you try, you can not overcontrol a child over eighteen. I would never give the car to any of my kids caught with booze on them. That's a HUGE and OBVIOUS blunder that could kill him and others. I don't know if your son still drives, but I personally don't feel he should. At least not with your permission and in your vehicle. You can't stop "stupid """"Friends""""" from letting him drive their cars, but then any accidents are on his head, not yours. Big difference. Typical teens are a b it defiant, moody, slam doors, pout sometimes and then sometimes are bright eyed and talkative, but they do their schoolwork, they graduate on time, they have future plans, they may experiment with drugs/drinking or fast driving, but do not make it a rule. They learn from their mistakes. You had a normal teen. You know ;) Difficult kids simply do not learn and do not change and we can't force it once they are of legal age unless we take things that they care about and that they are too lazy or unable to work to afford. Hugs!!!! [/QUOTE]
