@janallmac Morning π Good luck with that. I paid for lessons out of my part-time job which was much better for family relations - the one time I drove my mother in a car when I was learning she was so panicked (for no reason) that I stopped the car, got out and walked home. The next time I drove her I had passed several years and had to use her car to drive her somewhere as she had a broken collar bone. π
@Mandypar We're also going to be doing formal Driver's Ed with a real driver this summer, hopefully.
Driver's Ed teachers have got to be some of the most calm humans in the world, though. Either that or highly medicated! Holy moly. They have 2-3 new drivers at a time.
@janallmac lol π π€£ β solidarity for children whose parents didn't cope well when we were learning to drive! (Mum drove me to the MS Therapy Centre here once as my husband couldn't take me - I asked the staff for alcohol or drugs to help me cope with the journey home (they had neither) π )
@Mandypar
Yup. Relatable! My oldest is still mad at me for "screaming" when I was teaching him to drive.
He did things like looking straight at me while driving forward. π±
Thankfully, he's a good driver now and never got to the point he actually left the car, but I'm certain he'd agree with your actions and tell you all about how much I would scream and Mom-arm him.
I try to restrain myself. I do.
