[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yeah, I'd be annoyed, as I was when my husband lost the car key and needed to be bailed out at significant inconvenience and an annoyingly high cost. It's messing up your time together!

For the sake of my sanity and family relationships, I think I'd try to make the annoyance at the situation rather than the person. I'd want to hear from the family members some contrition that they realize they messed up. And then it'd be time to get into problem solving mode. I'd hope the college kid could do s little research and come up with a couple proposals how to work things out.

If they just dumped it all on me, like "here mom, solve this problem, I'm going out now with my friends," yeah, I'd be upset, and hope that I'd be able to keep my cool while conveying that that's not okay.[/quote]

Oh it falls on us bc there is no solution: either he takes our nicer car (which tbh I do not want him driving so I’m upset about that) and mails the keys to his car (a mom type car he has on purpose bc it’s not cool) so we drive that one, or we drive him in nice car and then he has no car there but that means a really tiring Sunday and dh and I are very tired already bc this week was crazy. Then we pick him up in a month. Either way sucks.[/quote]

Can his roommate mail the key to your house and he misses a few days of school until it arrives?
What about a train/bus/uber that he pays for?

If you guys were on vacation and had taken your nicer car and he was home alone right now, ask him what he would do.[/quote]
