Hello from germany, bavaria :-)
I´ve got a problem with my 12-yo son. The parents of his best friend bought a little piece of land in a wood. The former owner left a very old car there that has to be removed. It is about 30 years old, a huge Mercedes-Benz, and it can´t be driven anymore. So the parents have decided to go there with about 10-15 men and women and try to get it out by hands. Of course, my son wants to go with his friend there, too. I talked to the mom and asked what they are planning, she said they want to try and push the Mercedes out of the wood because no tow-truck can reach that area. If it´s too rusty and can´t be pushed they plan to lift the car by hands and bounce or carry it out at the bumpers and the wheel-cases. I´m not too sure if that´s a really good idea to let rather young boys go there, but she´s not worried at all. She just says, the two should take an old t-shirt and their old, greasy leather shorts so they can get a little dirty and everything will go right. I worry about the boys probably getting hurt when helping at the car or even just standing around the car they try to move somehow and cheering the adults on etc.
How would you as mom decide?
Thank you very much
Daniela
