Dear Kid Whisperer,
I think I have an unsolvable problem. I have twin 15-year-olds, a boy and a girl. I told them many years ago that I would buy them a car when they turned 16. My daughter presents no problem. She is responsible and she’s one of those kids who you basically don’t have to parent. My son, on the other hand, has the responsibility of an 8-year-old. He is barely able to get to school every day, even though I drive him (he can’t get out of bed, he dawdles until he’s late, etc.) I worry about letting him get his license and giving him a car, but I don’t want to go back on my promise.
