Once we landed in DFW, we made a stop in Waco to pick up AE, her youngest. While we were there, we also sat down with CL to have an honest talk about responsibility and the car. I told him he has until September 14th to get a job and show proof of it. For now, he can drive the car, but only under certain conditions: he has to work toward paying his own insurance and start making payments, and he’s only allowed to use the car for the grocery store, job interviews, and emergencies.
If he can’t follow through by the 14th, I’ll have to take the car back. It wasn’t a conversation I enjoyed having, but I know it was necessary. If he’s ever going to learn to take responsibility, the boundaries have to be clear, and the follow-through has to be real.
