So I haven't seen one of my SS since June when he graduated high school & I payed for the family to go out to dinner to celebrate. He hasn't come over ONCE to say hello or anything. Just now he sends me a text asking if he can borrow my very expensive SUV to drive states away to visit a girlfriend I didn't even know he had, at her collage. Really? Why would I lend him my car for this? So he can drink & boink in my car? Really? He can't even stop by to say hi & he has a friend down the street that he visits at least weekly. There are so many things wrong with this I don't even know whare to start. And my DH is only partially in agreement with me saying no. He makes me feel like I'm being mean or something. Is it me or does this question from my SS deserve the big coconuts award?!

I think your husband should lend him HIS vehicle. The answer is no. I have made it a point to be the Bad Guy. SOMEONE has to.

And your SS gets no award. He gets a lesson in "I am sorry, if you had visited us at all in the last 4 months and called or spent time with us or offered to even wash my SUV, I would strongly consider it. But in light of your apparent disregard for me, the answer is NO!"

And tell your husband to stop being a dork and a wanker. That is if you can be both at the same time.

I just want to add that I smiled broadly when you used the term "boink"

that is truly awesome.

(Reminds me of a Calvin and Hobbes strip "Scientific Progress goes Boink?")

And Yeah - NO WAY in hell would the boy be borrowing my car. Even if I drove a 15 year old POS that needs new tire and brakes.

duh.

Thank you ladies. I'm so glad for this site, it can offer up some much needed support. I knew there was no way in hell I was going to let this happen. I see your all in agreement. Thanx ladies!

Hell no. Tell your DH to give him his car. This is not your kid. It is his. Don't let anyone guilt you into this.
