[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Asking her to drive them to school, if it's close or on the way and you're paying for her car / gas, is fair. Expecting her to be your after school care provider is NOT. Absolutely not. [/quote] +1 Once my older sister started driving, my mom went back to work and use of the car came with responsibilities to help with giving rides to us younger kids. When I started driving a year later I also chipped in with driving my brother places (although he took a bus to/from school). Every day babysitting is an unreasonable expectation. The 17 yr old should be able to be involved in other activities, get a paying job, etc.[/quote] +2 When my stepson was 17, he had full use of a car I provided for him, along with me paying for gas and car insurance. In return he took DS to before-care in the morning, which was on the way to his HS. I would not have asked him to babysit every day after school though. [/quote]
