We need to talk about cars. Why? I now have two teenage drivers in the house and only two vehicles.
This is my chance to inflict on, umm, instruct my kids in the vagaries of owning (or not owning) a vehicle. My darling and I have been pretty lenient for a while, letting the kids use the vehicles quite a bit since they passed the Class 5 driving exam. We’ve tried to impress upon them the costs associated with operating a car – you know, insurance, fuel, tires, repairs, etc. This is especially important for our family, because we only have two vehicles and four drivers, with another learner on the horizon. They look at me blankly and ask why I don’t just use credit cards. Ahh, to be innocent again.
