Obviously, we will not pay for car/insurance. We have always had a rule that we will pay for our kids to learn to drive (up until they get their license, which he does have) but after that they are responsible for purchasing their own car/insurance/gas. If we have an old car, we may offer it for sale (at a slight discount), and if you pay for insurance, they can share my/DH's 2 cars, at our discression, but DS knows that we aren't going to turn around and buy him a car/pay insurance.

I've talked to our friend, he is a bit disappointed, but my understanding is that hiring my son was more a favor then a desperate need for another employee. Not that I'm going to tell DS that, a job is a responsibility which is why I have been so pissed really. Our friend has known DS since he was a baby, and I honestly think is giving him a bit of leeway, but he isnt extremely angry or anything.     [/quote]

You DO need to tell him that. You basically got him a job through networking, and he quit after a few weeks. In the future, this would make him and the person who recommended him look bad.[/quote]
