I Am a Mother

My oldest is getting his learner’s permit tomorrow. I’m not crying, you’re crying!

I most terrifying day of my life as a father was the day my kids drove out of the street with a new drivers licence for the first time. I KNEW I was never going to see them alive again.. But I did. Good Luck,.

@AndreaMom No cell phone while driving.

AndreaMom · 41-45, F

Yup. I feel like boys are more reckless at driving but girls use cell phones more @jackson55

@AndreaMom People ask me why don't you ride your motorcycle to work? Look around at a traffic light and everyone is texting or on the phone. Yeah, probably more women than men but it scares hell out of me.

Wait til they get their license and can drive alone 😕

will they be running over people on the side walk as they weave all over when learning to drive??? you will want to find a big empty parking lot to give him his first driving lesson in. then a deserted industrial park for first on road driving. 😺

Good luck with the permit. The excitement is tinged with a bit of sadness as you think-they growing up and then every time they get in the car and you are not with them anxiety takes root in the pit of the stomach -all part of life growing up and changing :)

When you get over the fear of them driving you’ll appreciate the added help. They don’t mind running their siblings places.

trackboy · 22-25, M

@river52 they did not take bus to school???

river52 · 70-79, M

@trackboy no.....they went to a private school.....

trackboy · 22-25, M

@river52 wow private school!! usally expensive for insurance at 16 so you cant drive on the cheap even if you get a cheap rusted out car you see the road going by under your feet because the floor is gone. with classes. homework. weightlifting. sports there is no time for a job.

@AndreaMom have you been able to maintain all the skills in this rapidly changing medical world? I am a retired pediatrician and tocicologists. I find it difficult to stay up to date#

AndreaMom · 41-45, F

Well I take continuing education courses to keep up but it’s only been four years, still!@samueltyler2

samueltyler2 · 80-89, M

@AndreaMom that is a long time. Just think about the change in the use of opioids! What kind of nurse are you?

samueltyler2 · 80-89, M

I lived through it with 3 kids and a grand son. They are all surviving despite my fears. My grand son is a pretty good driver. It is still frightening to me when I know they are driving.
