I picked up a car for CL, her oldest and drew up a written agreement to make sure he takes responsibility, since the title is in my name. The agreement sets out that he’ll pay back the $8,750 over two years at $350 per month. To be honest, I don’t fully trust him when it comes to money, he has a history of saying he has a job when he really doesn’t, and that makes me cautious. Helping him get this car is a chance for him to step up, but I know it will take more than words this time. He’ll have to prove through his actions that he’s willing to follow through.
While we were in Las Vegas, we left the youngest with the oldest. He’s done this before, so it wasn’t anything new, but it’s still reassuring to know he can handle that responsibility.
