[QUOTE="Lil, post: 683957, member: 17309"] Which is exactly why we've never given our son "his" car. Well, that and the fact that he was told twice what to do to "earn" it. First, it was: Get a job and pay for the insurance and your own gas and it's yours when you graduate from high school. Then it was: Get your associates degree in two years and it's yours when you graduate from college. He did neither. I've thought, [I]We should just give it to him so when he's homeless he'll at least have a place to sleep[/I]. Or, [I]Give it to him and he'll be able to get to work without worrying about our useless bus system in this town[/I]. But if we did...he'd title loan it in a heartbeat. :( I smiled at the mix tape too, they burn mix CD's now I guess. :) But I do love the cookie idea. Maybe a big batch of cookies will be baked tonight. That and a card and dinner. I think that will have to do this time. You're right, I'm sure. I think it means more to me than to him. [/QUOTE]
