[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Tell us more about her job. How many days each week does she work? If driving her is too far for you, can you drop where there is public transportation. Worse case scenario, a job closer to home.[/quote]

OP--Works at a restaurant and lifeguards as well. So, different hours on different days. She will be working almost every day this summer. We do not have reliable public transportation in LoCo....like none.[/quote]

You are missing the point. By shuttling her around, you are simply rescuing her from the consequences of her poor choices. She should have to either a) find alternative transportation that may or may not include you/your husband, or b) find a job/jobs that are within walking/biking distance.

You are creating a human who is going to expect that others will solve all of her problems for her.

You give them other consequences like working to pay for the deductible and other costs associated with the accident.  Not giving them rides is not a good punishment.  [/quote]
