[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 301403, member: 1233"] I took drivers ed early so that at 15 1/2 I could get my temps and help my mom drive to my Gma's in Florida. We already knew we would be helping her move into an assisted living place. Here you could take driver's ed and go driving with the teacher as long as you were a sophomore. You just couldn't drive with anyone else. Wiz still just has his temps. He will be 18 in Nov. My parents started to push him to drive more over the summer. I may let him have my LeBaron. It is old and in need of work but the tech school he is in will repair a student's care for the cost of the parts (if that - they get a huge discount on parts). Since it hasn't run in 6 months I see no reason he cannot have it. With my medications I shouldn't drive for a while anyway. Don't give them reasons. They will use them to justify their actions and manipulate you. That is one of the most powerful lessons I learned while difficult child was in psychiatric hospital. Even now all we have to say is "justifying" and he stops. He has been out of the psychiatric hospital for almost 6 years! Lots of hugs. Parenting teens is not for the faint hearted. parenting difficult child teens requires more power than Superman, Spiderman, all the Xmen and WonderWoman all combined!!
