[QUOTE="insanemomoffour, post: 245071, member: 3652"] well the next phase was it was time to take him to work. I tried letting him know how he let me down and I am disappointed. He tried to argue with me and I didn't give it to him, so then he told me to "shut up because he doesn't listen to me anymore anyway". That he is going to be an adult soon and the way he acts is from my husband and I rubbing off on him. That I need to look at my attitude. I just became quiet. Once we got to his job I asked him if he needed a ride home and he said it depended if his friend was going to get his mother's car. He got out and didn't say anthing. So the way I handled this was I didn't go pick him up right away. He must have waited outside his job about 15 min and then called me and said he needed a ride and that I should know he would have called if he didn't. No he would have called or came out while I waisted the time and gas going there and then told me he didn't need a ride. Anyway, by the time I got there he had a didn't attitude. I told him that he owed me an apology and he said I owe him one. He went on to say you have to give respect to get respect. I told him that I have respected him for 18 years. He said that it hasn't been 18 yrs yet and I told him the 40 weeks that I carried him counted as well considering I "respected" him enough to keep a healthy pregnancy. At this point still just trying to make a point. And I said that he still owed me an apology for stealing the car. I really don not think he thought of it as stealing, so I figured I need to use that terminology. He finally apologized. [/QUOTE]
