[@alondralabute2310]

What I was thinking. If he only glanced at the back of his new record album think what he'd be doing with a smartphone, checking his messages while driving. I'd have grounded him for a month. Good to see parents who double down when a kid does something wrong. Not like the wimpy parents you see on TV today.

1:05 OMG.. imagine if every time a kid was texting and driving we took the car away for a week? I saw a guy reading the newspaper yesterday while driving I'm not kidding the whole paper was laid out on the steering wheel. Few weeks ago we saw a guy shaving while driving and you know there's always the putting on makeup but looking down for a text is just unacceptable I think two things need to happen every car needs to come with the little straw that you blow in to make sure you're not passed the legal limit of alcohol, and when you're in a car whoever's the owner of the car their phone stop the texting ability after 3 mph

[@K.RobertRichardson]

I think he was right, too. The show takes for granted that it was somehow sneaky of Greg to argue that point, but I've always agreed with him on this - and I'm usually one to back adults over kids. Mike and Carol have full authority to ground him from diving their vehicles, but he's still a licensed driver and has every right to drive other vehicles if he can access them. This is like a store banning a customer, then getting mad that he was still able to do business at another establishment.

[@65if2007]

Wow, I am shocked at the number of people being down on Bobby for telling the truth. It was Greg who messed up and nearly got them both killed. Where was his loyalty? He lied and tried to cover it up and then blamed his baby brother for him getting into trouble. He got himself into trouble. Taking responsibility for your own actions is what seems rare these days or those.

[@thetaekwondoe3887]

Was Greg grounded for a week or for two? Mike said a week, then said it was more fair than two....then asked do you want to make it three, which makes it sound for sure that he had upped it to two because of Greg's sass? But then we see that Greg tells Peter it was only a week.

@@michaelvaladez3012 Ok, I should've said most kids respected their parents. But when parents aren't what they should be it's hard to respect them. My parents said and did things that lessened our respect for them, my mother especially. But that doesn't mean I didn't obey as much as I could and accept punishments. Sometimes the punishments were unfair. The stories I could tell. My husband's mother left home at 16 but I have never been able to get the story behind that since he himself never knew. She didn't talk about it. Parents ought to be as fair as they can be and only punish when it's necessary, sometimes a good talking to can be enough. A parent can lose a kid's respect when they are not fair or when they play favorites (my mother). But in this episode I felt Mike was right to ground Greg from using the car for driving dangerously.
