128. A guy I know has a kid who had 35 traffic tickets by the time the |

kid was 20. He told the kid if he had one more ticket, he wasn't paying for the expensive college anymore. Guess what. The snot did it again almost right away and the dad refused to pay the tuition. The kid is now working at a hardware store. It is 2 yrs. later. The kid blames his parents for not being able to finish college instead of looking in the mirror. They just got fed up with his crap and they refused to enable him anymore. (A lot of this was due to their enabling;the guy is a lawyer and was helping the snot get out of the ticket, talking to judges, paying off accident victims, etc)So now the snot with a bunch of guys. He hopes to become a cop (though don't ask me how anyone becomes a cop with all those tickets) and the police dept. will pay for his schooling. This snot had to learn the hard way; he thinks his parents owed him a college education and fixing any amount of goofing off he wanted to do. He probably still blames them and hates them but I think they are doing him a favor by making him pay for his own mistakes.
I don't know if this helps; I hope it does.
