Status: offline 		Ok...so, my teenager went through drivers ed. I paid the $400 so that she could take the class; mainly because I am a terrible...absolutly terrible, passenger...it does not matter who is doing the driving...I am absolutly terrible. So, I have her take the class so that I don't make HER a nervous wreck trying to teach her.

They finished the class up yesterday; she passed. She now has almost 6 months in which she can 'practice' before she has to take her actual driving test for her license. Which is good. REally.

BUT.

dayumit....she wants to drive EVERYWHERE NOW...and dayumit, I am STILL a fucking terrible passenger. She yelled at me yesterday...actually pulled into a parking lot, stopped the car and literally yelled at me. Told me to be quiet, and suck it up.

Dayum if she isn't just like her father.

So....I need to figure out a way to NOT be a terrible passenger. I tried closing my eyes and pretending to be asleep...like I used to do with her father , but she does not like that...says it makes HER too nervous.

Any suggestions anyone?

LOL

I really hate the teenage years

That's where we do most of her driving; out on the country roads. Her instructor though, after the classes were through, said that she really needed to do some town and traffic driving...that's where she needs the most practice. And while she is really good on the country roads; she detests driving in town.

We did that too lol. Her first week of classes, I took her to the parking lots so that she could practice her turns....they were really awful at first. She's pretty good now...can do a tight or wide turn like a veteran

LMFAO
I told her this one and she thought it was funny as hell.

Oh...now this actually might work...unless she gets pulled over lol...then it will be something trying to explain that one

Status: offline 		Irish, we're twins! I'm on the second kid and I swear that I'm worse than ever even though he's a better driver than she is. Basically I'm making the older one take him driving and she gets to teach him to parallel park since I can't. But we take back roads everywhere since I can't deal with him going down Main Street.

I know she needs a licensed driver in the car with her, but not sure if the licensed driver has to be sober.

If she gets pulled over and you are plowed, with any luck the cop will be the mom of a 16 yr old.

(you know i am kidding Irish. I have no answer for you, though i wish i did...cause my time in the passenger seat is coming)

Status: offline 		This is important...if you want to protect your daughter and yourself from injury...either do not ride with her or control yourself...If you don't you may cause her to have an accident. A nervous driver is not a safe driver.

Worse yet you will turn her into another you down the road…when it comes to driving anyway.

Status: offline 		the FIRST time i let my kid drive, he pulled out in front of another car, and i closed my eyes and waited for the impact!  that was 5 years ago and i can taste the fear still......

then there was the first time we went on the interstate, and i nearly put a hole in the passenger side floorboard.

oh, you wanted help didnt you? i got nothing, well except xanax.

good luck, and dont worry bout the gray hairs......ya get used to them!

Then again, when I went through it, I was still involved with my ex-wife and had no reason to live anyway.
