I didn't even tell you what happened Tuesday and yesterday, but I was mean mommy.
She bought her car from us in may when she moved out (because she's a grown up and we refused to treat her like one). I told her then she needed to transfer the title and get it in her name.
So, imagine my surprise when I go to the office and I'm opening all the stacks of mail that I've been ignoring and there is the registration renewal form, still in my name and address. So I texted her and asked about it. She says no, I haven't had the money to get it changed yet. I need the renewal so I can get my tags though, I'll come by and get it and my mail (4months worth)
I said no. You have had 4 months to get this done, and you would rather go get pedicures and go out to eat and go to 6-flags and rangers games then to spend your money on your PRIORITIES. You aren't getting the renewal, and you need to get the title transferred. (in Texas, whoever name the title is in and the registration belongs to is responsible for the vehicle-meaning hit and run, red light tickets, tolls, etc).
Her reply? I will when I have the money.
So, being the mean mom I am, who wants her to act like the grown up she wants to be, went and took the license plates off the car and told her she could obtain new plates by going to the local tax office and transferring the title and registering the car in her name and they would give her new plates.
(I checked with the tax office and local police first, to make sure I wasn't breaking any laws, and since the car is registered to me, it's technically my car and I can do whatever I want)
She deleted me off Facebook, blamed ME for not being able to drive to work or school and basically told me I don't want her to grow up and I am trying to hold her back. She tried to fight back when I told her I had thrown out her 4 months of mail by informing me it was a federal offense. I told her since she couldn't afford to change the car title, I wasn't too worried about her hiring an attorney to sue me.
So, if you were planning on presenting me with a mother of the year award, don't. Lol. I didn't earn one this year! I earned the my mom is a blt(h award instead.
