That's what we tell ours. We just won't be able to afford to buy him a car. He's going to have to do that on his own. We will try to help him when we can, but it's mostly his responsibilty. It is so hard because a lot of his friends are telling him their parents are buying them a car. I just don't feel it teaches them any responibility. They need to know the value of the dollar and the value of their vehicle and the maintenance...etc. His very best friend informed him yesterday that his parents bought him a PT Cruiser for $8000 off of ebay. They are going this weekend to Pennyslvania to pick it up. He doesn't even get his license until May of next year. I just don't get some of these parents!! Most would think I'm just envious of them being able to do that for their son, but it's more than that really. It's not teaching them anything at all. My son seems to understand, but at this age..he still can't help being envious.
