[QUOTE="graceupongrace, post: 300759, member: 7371"] I have to agree with those who vote "no" to driving. I told difficult child that there's no way on earth I will let him get a learner's permit until I see that he shows good judgment in other areas of his life. If he cannot make good decisions when he has time to think, evaluate and anticipate consequences, he sure won't be able to make good decisions in an instant when he's behind the wheel. I know it's hard. I want to share the fun of difficult child learning to drive. I want him to have that privilege. But I just can't allow it. There's too much at stake -- his life and the lives of others on the road. I agree that independence is important. But your daughter can learn to be independent by getting herself places on a bicycle, or by walking, or, depending on where you live, using public transportation. I know that this isn't how we want things to be, but when you're raising a difficult child, not much is. Hugs. [/QUOTE]
