[QUOTE="Kathy813, post: 97583, member: 1967"] Nancy, I think that your difficult child is a lot like mine, too. We let our difficult child get her license at 16 and lived to regret it. Two months after she got her license, she lied about where she was going and who she was with and totaled our car. We took her license away for the next six months. Then, when she was 17, she took two Ambien pills and drove home after work. She showed up at our house in a fog and couldn't remember what happened to her car. I went out to look and found that she had sideswiped something and damaged the entire passenger side of the car. To this day, she claims that she doesn't remember what she hit. So my vote would be to put off letting your difficult child get her license until she is acting responsibly. I wish that we had made our difficult child wait until she was at least 17, preferably 18. She is a good driver now and hasn't had any other accidents. She also seems to be turning things around (finally). Maturity does seem to be a big factor for our difficult children. Hang in there. ~Kathy [/QUOTE]
