[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 533138, member: 1233"] If he has only worked 6 days in 4 weeks because rain, how great IS this job? Even under the table, there is NO WAY that he made enough in 6 days to support a car or himself for 4 weeks. If he paid his taxes, he could maybe get unemployment. WHY? WHY WHY would you let him use your new car when you KNOW he smoked pot in your old one and you KNOW he is NOT WORKING????? The big deal is not what other parents do. I know it is cliche, but would you jump off a cliff just because the other parents did it? Cause that is what using the 'all the other kdis use their parents' cars" excuse is - jumping off the cliff into allowing things you KNOW DANG WELL are not just wrong and bad for you and your financial future, but are also bad for your child. if you didn't think this was bad, then you would not be questioning it. You would just say okay. But you DO think it s bad. You took a car away because it is bad. what is he doing the other days during those 4 weeks? Laying around? Or looking for a REAL job, one that he actually WORKS??? Cause if you only work 6 days out of 4 weeks you are unemployed and working as day labor. I wonder if the boss really did call off work because rain or if he called off YOUR SON"S WORK using the rain as an excuse but really because your son's drug use? Yes, landscaping is mostly a sunny day job, but I bet the boss didn't go with-o income for four weeks. Nor did those who rely on him for work because they would find another job if they were out of work for 4 weeks. this is NOT a job. Allowing the car for work when he doesn't have a job is really nonsensical, isn't it?? it is possible to be hurt VERY badly by lawn and landscaping equipment. I know peopl who do this for a living and/or own companies. the ONLY ones who do it under the table dont' give a sh** about their employees. they don't pay for injuries if the employee is hurt - not a PENNY even if a limb is chopped off. they hire the stoned, and don't make them stay sober for work, and when an arm is cut off they say "oh well, too bad so sad," and hire someone else and there is NO workman's comp, NO insurance of any kind, and the boss will agree to pay the bills but by the time the bills come in the boss had 'closed' that business and cannot be successfully sued and is doing the sme work under another name and doing the same thing to many other people. So when your son is badly hurt by this guy, YOU will pay for this job injury. You will also pay for the people hwo aer hurt when he wrecks your new car and when he does many other stupid stoned things. but it will all be okay because hte other parents let their kids use their cars (will they pay for the accident your child has?) and besides, your son won't be mad at you. Okay, that was sarcastic, but it IS the line of reasoning that you are following. and it is nonsensical to read and idiotic to do. let him WALK to the next job. Cause clearly he does not yet have a job. [/QUOTE]
