[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are you effing kidding me? How is this even a question? Are you just trying to find a reason NOT to take the car away? I don't particularly care about your kid. I do care that he is going 95 while texting and thus is a danger to everyone else on the road.

Take the car away. If that means you have to drive him to sports practices all over town - well weren't you doing that last yr or 2 yrs ago? And if you're over it and don't want to do it -- refuse to drive him. He can pay the price of having to drop out of activities or having to ride a bus. I would also make a rule that he CAN'T ride in his friends' cars to such activities. If he is group texting with a bunch of friends about this -- you don't know if they are crazy drivers and I wouldn't want him in their cars either.[/quote]

He's oldest of 3 children, diff. schools, diff. activities, etc. It won't be easy.

[b]What if he says it was just a joke[/b]?[/quote]

BS.

The jeep should be gone.  His activities are now canceled since it causes you more grief to get him there.

It won't be easy when he kills himself, someone else, or both either.  Do something now.[/quote]
