[QUOTE="Andy, post: 301441, member: 5096"] It sounds like that trip would be totally seperate from the stretch of road you did not want her driving on. If so, I think it is fine that you allowed her to drive. I think she had come to accept that she would not be driving home or to merge in traffic and was looking for the next opportunity to drive. It is typical for teens to spout off in anger about not driving when/where they want. I would however have reminded her that her previous attitude was not necessary and was not appropriate. You could have told her that in view of that, you had every right to ground her from driving for a few days. That may be a good thing to keep in mind next time she starts this behavior. Attitude is part of a driver's priviledge and if she is going to be lash out in anger about your decisions, she can not drive for 1 - 2 days while she figures out how to handle her priviledges. Our kids can throw things at us so fast that our reactions don't always include stopping and looking at the entire picture. You were still upset at her so when you did give in, you looked at it as her trying to manipulate you. Maybe she was, maybe she wasn't. All you can do is live and learn and have a plan in place for the next time this happens. [/QUOTE]
