[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Interesting -- I wonder if the PPs have teens and live in the DC area.  OP, we also live where a car is needed (although in MD), and I would not buy another car although I definitely would drive my kid to/from work or allow them to use Uber for this.  Traffic is crazy in the DMV and biking 9 miles each way may not be particularly safe.  Also, just being realistic, if you are a MC/UMC family this is likely not going to happen...your DC probably would quit rather than bike to/from work.  Just wanted to let you know that I understand that you are not making excuses. Sorry about the accident, glad your kid wasn't hurt, and focus on having a good last summer with your kid before they go to college![/quote]

JFC. Yes, I have/have had teens (my kids are 18 and 23). Yes, I live in the DC area but I grew up in a rural area and did not have my license until I was 18. My parents drove me where I needed to go, or I rode my bike, or I had a friend pick me up. The end.

I don't care where this kid lives, she was TEXTING WHILE DRIVING and CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. Anyone suggesting she should be immediately back behind the wheel should have their head examined.

Also, I don't know what kind of spoiled brats you people are raising, but in high school/college, my UMC kids bike, walk, or ride the bus to their jobs, or DH or I drop them off. They don't have a car at their disposal. They certainly do not "insist" on driving one of our cars and quit their jobs in protest if they don't get to. (Actually they are free to quit their jobs at any time, but they aren't getting spending money from me.)[/quote]
