Praying for your mama’s heart to have peace, and for them to be safe.
The permit age where I live is 14. Our ADD grandson is gleefully reminding all adults in his life -almost daily - that he is 13 and 3 months, with only 9 months to go before he is permit-eligible.
YAY!!
As soon as I got my driver license and drove home I hit the side of my house. So, if they haven’t done that then they should be golden.
That is so nerve-wracking. My granddaughter just got her driving permit. It makes me so nervous with all the high-speed roads in Northern NV
I back into anything that is not a living thing. My new car has sensors and a backup camera. As a result, hitting of objects has gone to zero.So far, they've only hit the curb...
My driving age (16) niece, Addi, is doing everything she can to *not* drive! Her mom/my sister can't wait to stop doing the after-school activity pickups, she bought a new car so that she could give Addi the old Prius, signed her up for driving lessons, etc. Addi also has ADD/executive functioning issues, so my theory is that she is afraid to drive, but I remember myself at 16 and it was so different then. Driving was freedom.Our ADD grandson is gleefully reminding all adults in his life -almost daily - that he is 13 and 3 months, with only 9 months to go before he is permit-eligible.

I honestly don't know what was scarier - teaching them or letting them go.
I would have loved to drive when I was fourteen, but now that I'm the adult, there is no WAY that I want my grandsons getting their permits at that age!! I guess that makes me a hypocrite, or perhaps just older and wiser?@AliOop, wow, 14 is way too young.
