    So, they were going to drive themselves to school, and you weren't going to notice a car is missing from the yard?

    19 and 21 yr olds really do not have as much sense as we would like to give them credit for. I am only 32 now, but when I was that age, I truly believed that I knew everything. Only with time I have realized that I knew very little @ that age. The older we get, the more we realize that our parents really know. Good Luck!!

    See, the thing is they told their dad that a friend gets dropped off at our house, and the friend drives both of them to school in our car. The friend has a license but no car.

    I always thought it odd that the friend had a ride to our house but not to school. School is literally two miles away. If someone was willing to drop her off here, why not drop her off at school?

    Hubby TOTALLY bought the story, while I questioned its validity. He admits he has his head in the sand regarding the kids. We argue about it and he tells me to stop preaching to the choir; that he knows his kids aren't perfect angels and he's completely incapable of saying NO to them. Hey, he knows they're pushing him over, at least he admits it... thats the first step, right?

    I might sound like these are the worst kids in the world. They're not. They are great kids for the most part. I just hate lies. I hate that they think we're stupid.

    I also don't understand how their 17 year old sister is more mature than either of them on her worst day.

    They are old enough to take the consequences of their actions. Maybe it will take them actually losing their licenses to see sense

    I am SOOOOOOO glad my daughter is on her own. I remember those days, believe me!! She reminded me so much of myself at that age!!

    It wasn't until AFTER I had kids did I realize what my father said was dead on! "You'll understand when you have children of your own."

    Kids mature differently. Heather has a good head on her shoulders. Ashley and Tony on the otherhand, *sigh*

    I can't believe he bought that story!!! He's a teacher, he should KNOW how good kids are at making up these scenarios!

    I think I would have said no right off to the whole thing because the driver would be someone who is not covered by my insurance plan. What would happen if they had an accident?? They have a license, but no insurance. Your car is covered, but if any one is hurt and you let that kid drive your car UNinsured, you are in for a world of trouble and law suits!! Same with no license and driving the car.
