Nothing was filed with the insurance or the police. We were just trying to do the right thing and pay for any damages that our boys might caused to the vehicle.
I don't wanna stick the entire bill on the drivers parents. It was all of the boys idea to take the jeep. I think they should all have a part in paying for the damages and not just the one that was actually driving it.
But the thing is.. she never sent us an estimate first.. she just took the jeep and had all the work done and sent us the final bill. So, the jeep now has everything fixed, even the top that was torn before they even took it.
I need some parental advice here. About a month ago my 16 yr. old son was spending the night at a friends house. There were a total of 7 boys in the house. 4 of them my sons age and then one of them has an older brother (21 yrs. old) and 2 of his friends. Well.. after the Mother went to bed, the 21 yr.old decided to let the younger ones drink. One of the boys my sons age has a jeep. They all tried to talk him into going mudding in the jeep and he told them that he didn't want to go, but if they could find his keys that they could take his jeep. Well.. you guessed it.. they found the keys. One of the 21 yr. old boys was driving and they got the jeep stuck in a ditch. They called my sons uncle to pull them out with his wrecker, brought the jeep back and that was that. The next morning, the boy who owned the jeep got up and left to go to home. He came back saying that there was damage to the jeep and found out that they had took the jeep mudding. He told his parents that they were all drinking and the boys stole the jeep and wrecked it. The Mother called all of the parents whos kids were involved and started naming all this damage done to the jeep. We agreed that she should get an estimate of the damages our boys caused and that we would pay the cost. She took the jeep and had work done on it (including replacing the top that was already torn). She had power steering pump, exhaust work rear end work done to it and sent us all a bill. I called and questioned the wrecker driver and he said that the jeep was stuck and that was it. In my opinion, we shouldn't be charged for the new top and for getting the jeep in mint condition. Only for damages that could have resulted in them getting it stuck. Any advice or comments on this?
I didn't realize the email (cowards way out) was so common! My ex husband sent me an email message that he was gonna be a Daddy again! (exact words!) And the kicker was...... It wasn't me that was pregnant!
I've been thinkiing about getting a tattoo or maybe a piercing. I just wanted to get peoples opinion. Is there a certain location that you find attractive and where, and what you think is too much.
For me... I just try to regroup and get over the pain by staying busy and staying close to my friends. I have lost in love twice... The first time.. I moved way too fast and did the rebound thing. It lasted for 10 yrs. but was never "true love" I guess. This time around I am gonna just take care of myself first of all and then if Mr. Right is out there.. he can find me! Just my thoughts
my youngest son is moving in the room.. I still have 16 and 12 yr. old boys at home. I am hoping once my youngest takes over the room it will help some. Thanks for the idea though.
Thanks for the kind words.. yea.. that is what I keep telling myself too. She is in college, studying to be a nurse. She works full time at a phsychologists office as a receptionist. She is very smart and mature for her 19 yrs. She has always made sound and good choices. I have to trust that she is ready for this... but at the same time, she knows Mom is here if she needs me.
Just feeling kinda down and sad... My 19 yr. old daughter moved out to her first new place. She has been moving things all week and I have done pretty well with it... Well.. when she came after work today and got the bed... there is nothing left in her room and I am totally freaking out! I had always heard that it is hard for a mother to let go.. boy is that an understatment! I keep telling myself that I am just being silly because she is just moving like 3 min. from me. Does anyone have any input on this subject? Things I could do to make this change and adjustment any easier?
