Teach your daughter that along with the privilege of driving a car, the
task of filling it with fuel is mandatory. Mommy and Daddy won't always
be there to fill it for her so she may as well get used to it.

I couldn't believe this whole thread! Father is not doing daughter
any favor,
tying himself into knots so the spoiled princess (I assume) won't have
to
fill up at a gas station. In fact, he's hurting her, because some day
she may
have to deal with a fill-up and not know how (is that so
complicated?).

You never know. Years ago I dated a woman whose 50-something mother had
never filled a car with gas in her life. I mean, not even been to a
full-service station. Husband did it for her, every time.

So what happened after he died?


Well that's simple! She ran out of gas!
