To make my step son clean the WHOLE of my car

[finnbarr]

Picked him up from a party last night.
He threw up in my car. ALL over the outside of the passenger side (I couldn't stop where he decided he needed to be sick)
And all inside-the back seat, the passanger seat etc.
He thinks I'm being harsh to expect my WHOLE car to be cleaned-inside and out....
Am I??

Yuk i would take money off hin for it or refuse to pick him up again and lwt his mum or dad do it. Or get dh to pay for valeting.

Oh you need to have a word with his Dad - what a cop out!

I remember DS puking in the car after a night out.
He was around 18/19 and we made him clean it out properly the next day and practically stood over him the whole time. He did apologise but grumbled all through doing it

Dock his money (via DH or however) to pay for it to be properly valeted. He can't just walk away and say "I'm not doing it so you have to, ner ner!"

Also its a good idea to keep sick bags in car as they can be used for lots of thing. I have learned this with my 3yo :(

No more lifts in future then. Let him see if he can get away with that sort of behaviour in a taxi.

yep, if he won't do it, say fair enough, but you get it valeted and he pays for it.

I'd get him to pay for the valeting service if he doesn't want to clean the car. How the hell do you clean half a car he's twit.
Sod your DP's headache, make him help is little prodigy if he isn't going to make him do it on his own.

I would have stopped and let him out at the first sign of sickness followed by charging him for professional valeting.

Anything less and your a mug. Next time tell the vomity arse to make his own way home.

OMFG - he just walked away and his dad has a headache?! Never give him a lift anywhere again and I would not do anything in the house for either of them. Your DH is bang out of order for not backing you up. I am seething on your behalf.

I just wouldn't give him another lift. He really should have cleaned you car inside out as you were king enough to give him a lift despite the puking.

He is 17 and has to take responsibility for his actions.

Vile. No respect for you by calling you a bitch and refusing to do it.
Not to mention the little treasure getting pissed underage.

Your dp is being ridiculous. "I've got a headache" ahh well that's ok, get him to pay for the cleaning and deduct from pocket money.

no more lifts for him then. actions have consequences.

Does your husband have a car that you can use?
