Give how many on here get so easily sucked into drama threads, I would not be too surprised if the whole story, along with the speeding ticket one, is all but made up for [censored] and giggles.

And payin' all the bills
I don't want no mouth from you
About the way I'm supposed to live
You must be crazy woman
Just gotta be outta your mind
As long as I foot the bills
I'm payin' the cost to be the boss
Your wife is trying to tell you that your household may not be able to afford to keep all these cars. It's a financial matter, not a relationship matter.

Kids should ALWAYS have to get a job and buy their own car.
I thought the same thing when I was a teenager.
These days I can't wait for my kids to get a license. I'll happily buy them a beater--driving them around to after school activities is going to be a pain.
[Plus if I can somehow keep them in reliable paid off cars until after college... maybe they'll skip the mistake I made--where I started buying new after college *on loan* instead of saving money and/or paying off debt all the more aggressively. Different thread though.]
