Making It Work
Posted by Prairierose on May 02, 2009Ethan’s car died last week, and he’s been driving David’s little pickup. Which, doesn’t put a hardship on anyone because David has a company truck that he drives everyday. So now we are looking for a different vehicle for Ethan. David keeps going back and forth between selling him his little pickup (which would be a $1500 purchase), or looking for another vehicle similiar to what just died (but ran a year and a half for Ethan), which was a $350 purchase. The one thing that will happen either way is that Ethan needs to get his own auto insurance. He’s been on our policy all through high school (well, since he started driving, whatever year that was). But now that he is graduating and will be moving out — having his own insurance is one of the many things on the list of things will change now that he is an “adult” and on his own. I hope that he can make it all work. There are qualities in him that makes me believe that he will be just fine, and he can make it work. But there are other qualities that … scare me. But, we have been through this before with our 4 other kids. He may fall on his face a time or two, but I think he can figure it out and will be just fine.
