Call DHS, they will get the same. The majority of the problems in society is DHS BS, no discipline in the home or schools.

Tell him the truck and there will be an ass whooping immediately followed by a bag packing and a door locking. My house, my rules; follow them or get out. Wife doesn't agree or back you up, she can go with him.

:rollingla My oldest one threatened to call DHS on me when he was 13 ... I told him to go pack a bag because when they got there I was gonna let them have him. You should have seen the look on his face, but being his mother's son, he's a real trooper and called my bluff ... While he was packing, I asked him if he knew what was gonna happen when DHS took him away. He said "Well, no ... " and that stoic, angry look cracked just a little ... After I went to great lengths to explain to him what foster parents were and how evil they were and how they would have a dozen other kids there just like him (and they'd all have to share the same bedroom!! :D) he stopped packing, sat down on the bed and said "Is it too late to change my mind?" :rollingla I said "Of course not ... Now ... go get your chores done ..." Yeah, all this was over having to fold a load of clothes ... :rolleyes2 He was good for a couple of weeks ... then we started all over again! :) Ahhhhh, the joys of parenthood!! :D

It cracks me up when Im at my oldest kids house and she is 'working' with her one and only child when she has had a 'moment', errrr, she has screwed up and got in trouble for something she definitely knew not to do. And then she hit at her mother and called her a bad name when she put her in timeout or whatever it is they call it. She's 5. Ahhh, I remember lighting that kids mommys rear up for some of the lesser things she did at that same age. She didnt do em any more either, and she for sure didnt try to hit me or call me a '*****'. Same kid who graduated highschool early, got her business degree early, went to work in hospital managment in her early 20s, and now she has resigned a great paying job to work on an MBA and raise this kid. Gonna home school her. Her husband was a part time Mr Mom now he gets to go to work full time at what he went to school after the Air Force for. He sure isnt bitching about it either, who would want to stay home with that little brat. Good luck with it is all I can say. Sure dont want to make them fear you or hurt their delicate little self esteem. And if the kid ever comes to stay with Gma and Gpa, well lets just say she will be at my house with my rules. And its a long way to California to call mommy to come get you. Lollllll.

:rollingla That's GREAT!! When GC and I got together mine were all in high school (or out) ... his youngest was just starting grade school. It was amazing to me the things that upset GC and his ex- ... I was like "Ehhh, they are just kids ... no big deal" when those same things wound me up tighter than an 8-day clock when mine were little. Kinda like being a grandparent. I made it real clear to my kids that while I love them and my grandkids, grandma is no kinda baby-sitter. I raised my brothers and sisters and then my own kids ... I'm done taking care of kids ... it's my turn ...

Always here unless I am gone (OKC Metro)
Underneath the steering column is a yellow and black wire with a small connector. It goes to the theft deterrent system. Just unplug it. It kills the fuel pump and will not start. You verify when you put the key in and turn it on the theft light will flash 3 times per second. When you get home just plug it in and drive off.

Take a pic of the Odometer. Show kid and mom. tell BOTH that truck is NOT to be moved.

Then take a gravel, or something and stick in the tread on the top side of one of the tires. Take a picture and show noone.

If he defeats the odometer, he won't defeat the gravel. It won't be there...you'll know someone took the truck.

If no gravel....Then get mom and kid together...show them the gravel pic.....tell them to call the cops and an ambulance. : )

(The cops for you and the ambulance for them) : )
