Does my son deserve a Yaris?

The ONLY thing he deserves is a swift kick in the ass to get him moving. Otherwise, he's going to live in your house, blow the settlement on money and drugs, then limp along in college until he inevitable fails out. Good job, pop.

Sir I respect your opinion but I do not see how my parenting skills are lacking in any way. I show nothing but love and respect for my son as an equal because he is a human being. He is going to go to a good school (either USC or UC Berkley) and hopefully mature. I have threatened him with a kick in the a** before but that would send me to jail. It is a catch 22.
