Dane is turning 16 tomorrow (yay) and without going into too much detail...My brother got him a car. Now my brother (Kevin) has MAYBE seen him 16 times in the last 16 years. Kevin made a very huge mistake about 22 years ago and will probably spend the rest of his life in prison. To me this seems completely inappropriate (to give him a car) when he hasnt seen him that much and basically knows nothing about him. I spoke to Kev about it the other day and he apologized. Problem is, Dane knows about the car.

We were going to buy him one anyway but he really likes the one kevin got him. Do we let him keep the car? or do we get him the car WE were going to get him.

Dane Loves his uncle - and I love my brother - but I think the only reason he bought the car was to show Dane that he isnt a bad person (but he is). I just dont know if we should let him keep the car...something doesnt feel right about it. But then again, if we took away the car that would be sort of punishing him, and he didnt do anything wrong.
