Fucked up Shit. Maybe it wouldn't be as bad if the kid were 16, but 19!!! Some parents need to get a fucking grip. This is pretty extreme given the kid is over 18. OMFG Elizabeth Dole and MADD said in the 1980's that drinking alcohol before turning 21 is evil!!!

I am guessing that legally the car is under his mom's name but i would be infuriated if I was the kid.

that. is. pathetic.

1/9/2008 11:37:43 AM

whatever.

1/9/2008 11:39:47 AM

i dont see the problem

drinking and driving no matter what your age isnt the greatest idea

god forbid someone make a kid accountable for poor decisions

even if he said it was left by someone else, he's lying. that's the oldest excuse ever. we've all gotten plenty of mileage out of it.

1. don't live with your parents when you're 19
2. buy your own car

also

some other parents wouldnt give a shit and their kid would eventually drive into a tree going 90 mph...which is worse the one who cares too much, or the one who doesnt care at all

1/9/2008 11:40:14 AM

as long as the kid didn't pay for it, I don't see the problem

wtf this is what I call an overprotective parent. your kid is 19 therefore a legal adult and old enough to decide if the legal consequences of drinking underage are worth taking. I think they have a term for this called helicopter parents among college academic advisers.

It did not say if he had been drinking and driving. For all we know the woman found a sealed pint of whiskey which would be legal except for the kid being underage.

HUR your "political" opinions are adorably naive and inconsistent.

1/9/2008 11:42:23 AM

the part that gets me is at the end, where they say the car is sold, but she'll keep running it for "feedback."

Screams attention whore.

" Man spots his wife during visit to brothel WARSAW, Poland - A Polish man got the shock of his life when he visited a brothel and spotted his wife among the establishment's employees. Polish tabloid Super Express said the woman had been making some extra money on the side while telling her husband she worked at a store in a nearby town. "I was dumfounded. I thought I was dreaming," the husband told the newspaper on Wednesday. The couple, married for 14 years, are now divorcing, the newspaper reported."

this reminds me of one time i was doing some yard work around my house and i was using my dad's tahoe and trailer to take some shit to the landfill

i was probably the only person to drive it for about 2 days...it was the summer i think. anyway my mom, dad and brother are going somewhere in it and my brother found an airplane bottle that was empty and my mom had a fucking shit fit. she storms into the house and asks me if there is anything she needed to know. well i dont even have time to answer and my dad is telling her that he was ferrying one of his bosses and he left it which was the truth (the guy was a total douchebag and got fired less than a year later)

i wouldnt have put it past her to do something like this but i was 16 or 17 at the time. i never looked in the back seat because i was driving. im just glad i didnt get stopped and searched by some cop.

1/9/2008 11:47:06 AM

but officer...... it was my dad's airplane bottle

1/9/2008 11:59:32 AM

The kid was stupid. What was the rule? He broke it. Too fucking bad.

Seriously, the icing on the cake was the ad in the paper. This mom is classic.

1/9/2008 12:22:55 PM

The only problem I have with this is the personal business in the ad was unnecessary....no prob with selling the car.


he should wait until she does something embarassing and post an ad selling his latest b-day or christmas gift from her:

This was a b-day present from my mom, (name here), but since she cheated on my dad recently, I feel I can no longer keep this.....Oh, I sold it last week, but I'm just going to keep this up for a while for feedback.

1/9/2008 12:25:43 PM

nobody who posts on the wolf web ever got a second chance.

1/9/2008 12:38:29 PM

What is the point of embarrassing your children by advertising personal business that should be taken care of within the family? This is the same kind of thing as parents who will make their child wear a sign with "Thief" written on it in public (I've actually seen this) after they were caught stealing something. From her few quotes it seems like she is doing this more for herself than her son.

1/9/2008 12:39:33 PM

of course she's doing this for herself

my parents would have sat me down and TALKED to me
explained to me all of the potential dangers of my actions and we would have come to a mutual understanding

the kid is 19
he's supposed to be smarter than this

With a mom like that, how would you expect him to be?

yeah exactly. or the husband that was on the news a month ago who reported his wife drinking and driving. Awesome you are self-rightous but have fun with the economics of your wife going through a DUI conviction. Unless that is you caught that bitch cheating and planing to divorce anyway.

1/9/2008 12:58:52 PM

the day the kid turned 18, some parents wouldve kicked him out, and they wouldnt have given him a car in the first place

i just think the opposite end of the spectrum is even worse than the overprotective parent, although optimally you want something in between

1/9/2008 1:02:13 PM

I think the ad in the paper, especially keeping the ad in there after it was sold, is way overboard.

I don't have a problem with selling the car, she bought it for him after all.

Besides, it's a damn Oldsmobile, she did him a favor.
