My son wants to drive my car

I think my son Teddy has his license and has enjoyed driving my car. Since he's been back from college I let him drive my car about 6 times and now he thinks that I should let him drive when he does things around the house or when he helps cook dinner. I let him take his girl out in the movies with it, visit his friends house, pick up his things from college, run a few errands etc. Now of course I do appreciate his help and it's been great to have him back home from college because I really do love the kid, but I've really been getting annoyed lately about him thinking that he should be allowed to drive my car just because he helps out around the house sometimes. If I were his age I know I would beg for my father to do the same thing, so I really do understand his strong desire to drive. I most say that Teddy is a very responsible young man that's what makes it so hard for me not to reward him in this way.

What would you do if you were in my situation? Share your comments with us. Thanks.

Shine making decisions about college

My 20 year old son Shine has the opportunity to attend Nyack College all expenses paid, but he's struggling with the choice because he want's to also have his own apartment and take care of his 2 year old son. I must say that Shine is a smart young man but like all of us we need help in making the right choices in life. Shine has been living with me since he was 17 years old and earned his GED last year, now it's time for college. After many hours of talking with him about this he says he has a PLAN A and a PLAN B. Plan A is go to Nyack earn a degree get a job and take care of his son. PLAN B is get an apartment in the next few months before he ages out of care find a job and try to get custody over his 2 year old son and take care of him and go to college while doing all of this. By the way his son currently lives with the baby's mother and grandmother and there's no guarantee that he will get custody over his son or get an apartment. Please comment on this and let SHINE know what you think is the best choice for him. He needs all the wise counsel he can get and so do I, because I'm trying to convince him to go with PLAN A. We have a meeting scheduled with NYACK College next week Thursday or Friday and I'm hoping by then Shine will make the right choice. Let's pray Shine makes the right choice his future depends on it.

April Pics

Here are some pics we took recently. Although I didn't have a good relationship with my dad one thing I learned from him is how to take pics. Pictures help us to reminisce on times we have together with family and friends.
