Instead of acting like a petulant spoiled brat, Jeremy needs to take a long look in the mirror...
For instance, did he even think to do some investigating on a possible car, analyzing costs, budgeting and so forth...I am willing to bet the answer is no, creating a proposal that for a teen like himself that makes sense??? To do a little bit of homework on his situation instead of acting like the world owes him a favor???
From what I see, Ken is trying to reach out, not replace his father, Jeremy needs to smarten up, grab hold of his private parts and start acting like someone who comes to the table with solutions, while they may not be workable, at least then his efforts are trending in a positive direction...
Up to now in this first chapter, Jeremy is a waste of space, a whiner...I have no sympathy for him. He is old enough to have a drivers license, and old enough to take the positive steps to make his life a tad easier...
