Paying for gas

It’s not that simple, if you read the posts in detail. So far this weekend my teen drove his younger sibling back and forth to something scheduled, picked up things at the grocery store, picked up the take out food for the family last night, as well as went out socially with a friend. We don’t expect him to pay for gas 100% of the time he drives since it’s sometimes for things that help out us. Some parents offer to pay for it all, and sometimes I think I should pay for more than I do. I gave my younger one $20 to go out to eat when she went out work friends. I’m tougher on my older kid.

You are too cheap.

Ridiculous.

I couldn’t be more pleased with how she and her sister have turned out. I think we’re going to stay the course, thanks.
