[QUOTE="Penta, post: 97480, member: 1644"] I feel much like Irene about the driving issue. Fortunately, my girl didn't get her license until she was 17. Her uncle taught her to drive and he was a good teacher. She learned everything she needed to know and drove on all kinds of roads, highways included, and in all kinds of weather with him. She got her license with a perfect score on the driving test and she is a safe, cautious and excellent driver. She handles her own car that she bought by herself. I did lend her money for a repair this year that was a safety issue, but she paid me back in a timely manner. She has driven my car as well and is careful with it. I never would have expected this to happen. From the time she was age 12-almost 15, I would have to fight with her to even get her to wear a seat belt in the car when she rode with me. And often, if she got angry with me when she was in the car, she would just open the door while I was driving and jump out into the traffic and run away. Often, at night!!!! Those were harrowing days for me and I am so glad they are behind us. I never could have believed she could become the person she is today. My girl, too, now sees what happens to young people who follow the wrong direction. She wants a future for herself and wants her family's support. Your daughter has some hard choices to make for herself in the next year or 2. I hope she can keep her eye on the prize. [/QUOTE]
