it is really stormy out there. big cracks of thunder and lightening. hope all of you in the central states are safe from the storms. the news was awful to watch

let me change this to FURIOUS. i am so po'd at my son..yes the one i was being so kind and helping him get a car.well...he can just forget that. i just got a call from the state barracks. he was busted at an underage drinking party. GGGRRRR....he was being so good and i trusted him. he is on his way home. a friends mom is bringing him which means i have to go get my car in the morning. well...i guess with this fine he won't be getting his own car or insurance. how can i trust him now? wait til he tells his father.

i best do some relaxing deep breaths before i pop. my mantra will be be" i won't kill him...i won't kill him"

I would never describe life with teens as dull LOL! but am living proof that you do survive the ordeal LOL again!


Should you let him have his car .. sure, but not immediately .. let him *suffer* a little bit .. he deserves to for getting caught!

Calm down sweetie! Hey, it's all part of growing up (as you said you didn't get cuaght but he did, unfortunate for him). I agree that if he is a party drinker, the driving issue become s very serious and very real.... see what he has to say.... and then figure out if he's not going to be drinking and driving... because I#m assuming this whole question in your mind comes from that aspect..... they make mistakes.... sigh.... how else would we learn.

Awww...I feel bad that you are going thru this. I have two little boys, so I am totally not there yet. But...I was young once too and fortunately didn't get caught. I would make your son wait to get the car--or if you already bought it--don't let him use it yet. It is serious what he did and I would be worried about the drinking and driving thing. Kids think they are invincible. See what he says when you guys talk. He may be feeling pretty bad himself. Good Luck!!! Jenny

Oh Sporty, I can feel your rage !! I have been there also- love getting that call to say that your under age child has been taken to the police station & being kept in Protective Custody until you come get them ! urghhhhh! It happened to my 2 youngest, twice with DD & once with DS ! They were good kids, but not smart enough to run like most kids did ! It takes awhile before you can actually trust them again ! It is like fishing you give out some line- they screw up- you haul the line back in! Sometimes seems like you do that for a long time! SOmetimes the fishing pole just gets put in the garage & the kids are banished to the house for a long time- with none of the frills ! he-he !

Hang in there- it happens to the best of them! Sometimes, they actually are victims, being at the wrong place at the wrong time!

Hugs & Stay calm ! (I know easier said then done)
