Yikes! The thought of an accident scares me! My husband was quite a reckless teen, but luckily our oldest daughter is more level headed like her mom. ;) Hopefully she won’t go flipping any cars any time soon.

Haha! Hopefully he won’t bug you for the next 9 years straight! If he’s really desperate, take him to drive go-cart. We did that recently and the younger kids (and my new driver) had a blast!

Yeah, my two oldest girls are approaching dating age, so I know what you mean!! As far as the driving lessons go, my husband is more of the technical teacher, but I’m the more layed back parent, and my daughter has already expressed her preference for driving with me, because she feels so uptight when she drives with dad. lol Lucky me!

Seriously, the older my kids get the more I relate with my parents, maybe because I can remember back so clearly to when I was a teenager. :)

I know just what you mean!! I’ve got 3 daughters…and my oldest (yes, the one who’s driving) is just about dating age (we make them wait til after they’ve turned 16). Luckily, she’s not boy crazy. It’s my 13 year old that worries me on that level!

What is the timing like in Florida? Here, she had to wait until she was 15 and 9 months to get her permit, and now she has to wait 9 months beyond that to get her license, so she’ll be 16 1/2 before she can take her driving test. Gosh, by the time next June rolls around, she’ll be a driving pro. ;)

Still, as exciting a time as this is, I can’t help but grip the arm rests whenever she is driving! lol

My 14 year old will be 15 in March. Driving is a big topic of conversation. It’s nice you’re a little ahead of me. I like your pros and cons. This time of their lives is so exciting…and ours, scary. ;)

And I have 2 girls! They’re only 7 and 2 right now, but still, I know it’s coming.
