if it bothers you so much you drive him....your husband seems like he's trying to teach him to be a man and be responsible which is what he needs where as you seem like you want to still baby him and coddle him....He is a grown man now. Why would he get his girlfriend pregnant while living at home and with only a seasonal job? I would be mad to if I was your husband....time to cut the umbilical cord
He's 19. He's an adult. You're not doing him any favors by coddling him and keeping him from learning valuable lessons in life. You and your deadbeat son are a couple of train wrecks. Your husband is the winner by a huge margin.
I'd rather he not ride the bus, thank you! Yes, my husband has mentioned that but I don't want him to ride the bus when we have two cars at home, mine and my husband's.

OMG!!
Have your son take the damn bus!
Or, have him get rides with co-workers.
Or, have him take a taxi home (of course, he needs to pay for it himself) if he can't get a ride home or the buses have stopped for the night.
Or, you get him from work yourself if you feel that he is too much of an immature child to ride a bus by himself.
And, how is this "child" of yours going to support and raise a baby if he is so immature that he can not even be trusted to ride a bus by himself ?

Anyone he works with he can catch a ride with? I'd be pretty torqued with my schedule to have to play taxi and get a few hours a night in sleep while my kids are doing "what they want" which is the situation you have now. Good luck regardless.

Your son can take the dang public transit like anyone else. He isn't special. I'd be freaking peeved to have to add time / throw off my work schedule like that to cart around an able bodied 19 year old.
No, his daughter is not pregnant now. Again, that was taken care of her senior year of high school because my husband laid it out to her how her life would be with a baby at this age. She's away in college now but so is my son, after failing out o his first college. My husband is still holding that against him simply because the college he failed out of was his alma mater. He had hopes that one of the kids would go to his alma mater but when my son flunked out he's been bitter and it seems that everything my son does he finds fault in it. He's 19 and he's in school and working but my husband is just too hard on him.
Your son is going to be a father and you don't want him to take the bus???
