First impression: ridiculously draconian to try to control a 19 year old's life (he is an adult, after all) to that degree.
But, upon reading the article -
having worked hard to save up and pay for my own car, I have little sympathy for this guy who got a car as a present, with conditions that, let's face it, aren't particularly hard to adhere to.
I reckon she may have done the right thing, and either way, he doesn't really have much grounds to complain.

I'm pretty sure it a 21 years old limit in all 50 states now in regard to alcohol. |

Drama queen crying out for attention. She's got issues, the kid should disown his mum, detatch the umbellical noose and move on

Absolutely good on her, I suspose all non parants and pretend parants will be shocked and those who study paranting from university study books will be equally as shocked.
If i was to find alcohol in any of my boys cars i'd kick there arse's till black and blue.
Both four and five, im already teaching them about the evils of the drink and the morons who drink for the sole purpose of getting pissed!

it's obvious from the lengths she's gone to attract publicity, that it's all about "her" not about "him". she could have done this quietly.
i'd be willing to bet that she's one of those people that within 10 minutes of meeting her she'd be lecturing you about how to raise your kids. (ironically, these "look at me" parents often seem to have obnoxious kids). |
