You forgot the muddy shoes and snow boots, my friend. Normal wear and tear doesn't begin to cover sloppy kids in and out of your car every day.


If it's that much of a problem, do what I did growing up. Either

1. Put towels on floor and then launder them

2. Sit in car with feet hanging out. Change shoes. Put dirty shoes in bag.

How old were you when you did all that?


As long as I can remember in my mom's car. We could also only have water when we were really little and graduated to foods when we were older and could be trusted not to make a mess.

The shoes thing went all the way through high school and sports.

I have a 3.5 year old now. I'm a little more lenient but I do usually take his muddy shoes off when he gets in the car because he kicks his legs and it gets messy. And unless we are going on a long car ride, there isn't much need for anything more than water.

Write into your contract that the family is liable for repairs to damages caused by the kids or their seats.

And prohibit eating and drinking in the car. That right there cuts way back on the mess.
i I will say one more time ,is then that is about my CAR I still paying 42 t$$$$$$.

I drive my own car as I prefer it that way. Kids aren't allowed to eat in car except for water. I have mats on the floor that are easily removable and cleaned (I have them regardless of whether or not I am using my car to drive kids around). I have no issue driving my own car.

If you feel the family is taking advantage of you and you won't set limits with your charges about messes, then tell your employers. But your employers are not unreasonable for reimbursing you as they are doing. Stop trying to act like they are horrible bosses.

Just say no! Good for you, OP.

Those government reimbursement rates are ONLY for NORMAL wear and tear of vehicle driving. Most kids do far BEYOND normal wear and tear of a car interior, as OP clearly describes.

For me, my employers would have to pay for detail cleaning at the end of every week, so I could have my regular clean car for my weekend.




This is not just about the car to cleaned,my worrie is about I paying lots money for my car and people use this almost for free..
