So, Twuntzilla is living deep in the land of delusions. She's got skid1 there with her too, and reality is going to smack him hard in the face soon.

A little background: Skid1 just turned 14. In our state, kids can get their learner's driving permits at 14. In order to do so, they need to take a written test at the DOT. With the permit, they can drive with a licensed driver over 18 in the car. If they keep their permits for 6 months with no issues, and take a Driver's Ed class, they can get a school permit, which allows them to drive to/from school without an adult in the car.

DH was at work yesterday and got a call from skid1. He and Twuntzilla were on their way to the DOT so he could take the test but she had no money to pay the fee. Dh said "Sorry buddy, I'm at work so I can't help you out right now."

Cue meltdown from skid. DH told him that he was getting off of work soon, and had to stop at the grocery store, so if they really needed the money for the fee they could meet him there and he'd take care of it.

He gets to the store. No skid/Twuntzilla. Calls skid's cell phone. No answer. Calls Twuntzilla. No answer. He waits for a bit and then came home, since skid2 had been home sick from school and DH wanted to check on him. Of course, skid1 calls again, wanting DH to drive all the way out to the DOT to meet them there and pay for the test. DH said no, he had other obligations and couldn't. Meltdown from skid again.

WTF is wrong with this woman? If she really couldn't afford the fee, why couldn't she have arranged in advance to meet with DH? Why does she expect him to drop everything to cover her broke ass? Why set out for the DOT KNOWING she didn't have any money? Oh, I know, because she sucks.

And the whopping fee? $6. Six. Effing. Dollars. For real?

Apparently she ran into someone she knew there and they spotted her the money. No shame, I tell ya.

And here's where the delusions come into play: she has skid convinced that she is going to buy him a car in 6 months, and that the insurance she already has for her car will cover a teenaged driver with only a permit - NOT a license - in another car!

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! She's so fucking dumb. Insurance is going to cost $100/mo easily. The cars she's been looking at for him are $2000 easily. If she thinks DH is going to run to her rescue to cover the purchase of a car, and insurance, she's going to be sorely disappointed.

DH is livid that she's setting skid up like this. He will not pay for a car or insurance unless skid gets a job and contributes half. Sorry buddy, cars are a responsibility and privilege, not a right, and until he can contribute his ass will be riding the bus. As we both did as teenagers.

DH tried to point the delusions out to skid - she can't afford $6 but thinks she's going to buy you a car? For real? - but he's pretty deep into lala land and it fell on deaf ears. Skid1 thinks he's the bees knees, and should be handed everything. And why shouldn't he? Whatever he wants, he gets (usually from MIL), and he sees no reason why things should be different now. But Dad's wallet is closed on this one, and he'll realize it soon enough.
