My baby and HIS car

my baby has a car, he needs a manual and we all drive automatics

 a car that was promised to him if he completed year 12 ( 'I' needed one child to go all the way ), he whinged and bitched everyday he got picked up I want a car, I want a car....turns out my idea of a car and his were well $1500 datto vrs a $15000 VE commodore...and there were LOTS of heated discussions.

Blame for indulging him, blame for starting him off, he is the baby and the baby gets everything.....

So after months and months of carrying on and his 100 hours in 5 1/2 months he got his car...he came home after a day with his mates and told us he had ''lowered his standards'' priceless well not really just a willing to drop it to $10000 ????  he had to save his money which he did, this from a kid that can KEEP money in his pocket and WONT spend it and hand over whatever money he had saved (I did try to get him to spend it so it would cost he dad more but men )....I tried to tell him a car was going to cost him, his car his responsibility's..... still no budge he kept looking and looking ringing and being disappointed, hippy mum kept saying there is car out there waiting for you, it will find you.... (f-off mum)

He got the car, he got to pay transfer fees, rego, road worthy mechanic, insurance  (IN HIS NAME , HIS CAR!!!) , a battery why is it they always died just after you buy them? we gave him $20 for petrol because we felt sorry for him, he has no money, he can't drive it by himself but he can look at a piece of responsibility he has never had !!!! a different way to teach him about life...

Child A had to buy his own car, he does have a $10000 car he saved every penny for..he owns it no dept / loan even from us..he was / is super pissed he had to buy his own (yes he was promised a car if he stayed at school ) he has to pay for his TAFE and every bit of study he does.....yes he does and when he finishes we WILL give him all the money he has paid out for schooling.....a lesson he will learn humble pie he will eat...a learning curve and OUR way of parenting our children, it may not be right in your eyes but we are doing and will do the best we can...x
