Drops out
DH told SS not to work while he's in school or he will take the car back. Last week DH caught SS working so he took the car back. SS said since I don't have a car I don't have to go to school. Yesterday BM called begging DH to give SS his car back. DH said he can buy his own car and pay for his own insurance or you can buy him a car and pay for his insurance either way I don't care....click!!! Ouch!!!

I had the same rule when my son was in college.
He could work during the summers and school breaks, but not during the school year. Since I was the one paying tuition, room and board...I got to call the shots. He graduated in 4 years,with honors. ExDF forced his son to work while he was in college. He and BM refused to help pay of anything. The boy worked his butt off. His grades were awful and he ended up dropped up out after two years.

Told DH let the kid keeps the car but make him pay for his own insurance and everything else...SS called me asking me to talk to DH to let him have his car back and he's even volunteer to pay for insurance and gas. As this morning DH still says no...stubborn mule.

I think just flat out telling
I think just flat out telling him that he can't work is not the answer. If he goes to class and his grades are good, there is no reason he can't and shouldn't work.
My dad gave all of us kids the choice to work or not while in school, but only if our grades did not suffer.
Told DH if the kid drops out
Told DH if the kid drops out of school it will be on him because so far his grade is fine.

SS is an adult. Yes an immature one but still legally of age. Let him sink or swim on his own. It is your DH's car. He can set limits on its use as he sees fit.
The real is the lying. who in their right mind wants to give things to a liar?

Update:
SS & BM called and cried on the phone begging for the car so DH caved. The kid got his car back. Here's the kicker. His GF didn't know about him working and BM & DH are not allowed to breath a single word to her because "as soon as she finds out I lie to her she will dump me." Parents of the year!!!!

A smart girl of course will
A smart girl of course will dump a liar. I'd probably tell her myself. I despise people who ask others to help cover up their lies.
I agree with you but not
I agree with you but not worth it. At the end of the day SS is an adult and he's not my son so let he lives the life he wants to live.
