[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 81534, member: 1514"] Lisa... I so know what you mean. My kids that are hear dont drive either. Cory cant drive anymore do to his legal entanglements and Billy...well..he simply hasnt learned yet due to his anxiety level with the aspie issues. Maybe soon. My schedule has been taking both of them to school/work every morning by 8 am during the week. Picking Billy up at either 11 am or 1 depending on if it is a MWF or a TTH, then coming home and having to cart him back to work now that he has a job. Throw in my doctor appts, therapy, sometimes going and getting Cory at now and then from work, watching Keyana on Fridays definitely and maybe another day if she is sick, etc etc etc. There is no public transportation where I live. A taxi costs $20 a pop to come from town OUT to my house so it would be a $40 round trip, and like you, we have one taxi service so they can charge what they want. Even if we could teach Billy to drive, he has nothing to drive because Im not letting him get behind the wheel of my new car and there is no way he could handle a stick shift like husband's old car. His job at Radio Shack is very part time. 20 hours a week and minimum wage. Hopefully he can save up for a car and driving lessons soon though. So I feel your pain. [/QUOTE]
