Speaker 1 (00:01):
All right, This is from d aunt Steve Harvey FM.
He says, I've banned my daughter from using our car,
and my wife disagrees, accusing me of quote overreacting. She's seventeen,
our daughter is and has started smoking. It's a disgusting habit,
and I've told her so. I also realized that kids
are going to do what they do, and I can't

(00:23):
do much when it's outside of our home and it's happening.
Over the weekend, I stopped to get gas and I
saw her filling up my wife's car and she was
smoking while she was doing it.

Speaker 2 (00:34):
This was a real deal breaker for me.

Speaker 1 (00:36):
She knows how I feel about the smoking, but doing
it while filling up at a gas station is just
playing stupid and irresponsible.

Speaker 2 (00:43):
She can do whatever when she owns her own car,
but not with ours. Am I really that out of line? No,
not at all.

Speaker 3 (00:52):
This is ignorant, stupid, and you, as a parent, I
totally get it.

Speaker 2 (00:57):
Oh.

Speaker 3 (00:57):
Isn't it amazing when your key is get to that
certain age and you you have no more that that
over that big control over them. They're kind of more
of an adult now, and then you just look at
them and be like, Okay, was this my fault?

Speaker 2 (01:10):
Did I do this?

Speaker 3 (01:12):
You start backtrack and trying to figure out what you
did wrong. You were like, no, I didn't do this.
You just stupid all by yourself. I didn't do none
of that part. I'm sorry. I didn't raise this on you.
The choices, the choices, man, you just sit back and
be like, okay, what made you do this?

Speaker 1 (01:29):
And the mom is on the daughter's side, that's what
I don't want. Yes, yes, yes, the mom is mad
at the dad for not letting the daughter drive his
car because she smokes.

Speaker 4 (01:41):
Right, so they have to let the same team when
it comes to parenting and.

Speaker 2 (01:48):
Front.

Speaker 3 (01:49):
Yes, first of all, smoking is bad altogether, but can
I tell you as a man, it's even a bigger
it's even a bigger turn off when it's a woman.
Smoking just looks bad.

Speaker 2 (01:58):
On the one it just looks bad. There you go
with that. I'm just does it just looks bad?

Speaker 1 (02:05):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (02:05):
Carla?

Speaker 4 (02:07):
What these young kids too, they're vaping now, They're they're
doing a lot. And so I think the dad what
he's trying to say is, you know, this is not
a healthy habit.

Speaker 2 (02:18):
It's to toxic for your body.

Speaker 4 (02:21):
All of these things, and so the mom just feels like, yeah,
she's probably smoking or doing whatever, but it was too
harsh for you to say that she can't drive the car. So,
like I said, my issue is that whatever the parents
agree on as disciplined and trying to get her this bad,
toxic habit that she's forming at a very young age,

(02:43):
they got to be together.

Speaker 2 (02:45):
But right, okay, but that's that's the whole point. They're
not together. They're not together. And she's not just driving
his car.

Speaker 1 (02:52):
She's smoking in his car.

Speaker 2 (02:54):
You're car, you're not.

Speaker 1 (02:59):
You're not getting in her and she's only seventeen, she's
not even grown yet.
