Good morning! Sunny day here, and I’m making a supper to take to a family from the homeschool group who just had a baby. Hopefully they’ll be at home after I pick up Tom from driver’s ed.
The regional director of the driving school gave the parents a very interesting talk this morning. I hope Tom is paying attention to what he’s being taught!
I’d like to say that getting my teenagers through their first driving experiences and the necessary disappointments was an easy transition.
I’d like to say that, but it wasn’t.
One smart thing I did was to get an inexpensive second-hand car for their first car.
It needed many repairs, for many reasons. But it proved a valuable learning experience each time.
Now they are responsible for their own “wheels”, and they are very responsible indeed.
And I still have that old beater.
