Good for you sanctimony. You have added nothing to the thread other than judgement.

Be gone!

What in earth? Why wouldn’t it be safe? This is bizarre.

6 hours is fine. I used to drive myself home from grad school for a weekend - 4 hours each way. Leave on a Friday, come back on Sunday. Turned into 6 hours with I-95 traffic.

Have you guys never been on a road trip?

Why wouldn't he be able to drive 6 hours? That is nothing. Is he narcoleptic?

Prostate issues?

This can’t be real. I just dropped the kid off at college- 10 hours each way, drove down one day and home the next. Didn’t even leave to come home until after 2pm. And I worked the next day. Six hours is a walk in the park. I’m really, really hoping this is a troll.

Are you really THIS overprotective of a grown man? He's your husband not your son!? And btw your 18-20 yr old son (or daughter) could easily be doing a 6 hr drive.

FYI - I know wives LOVE being SO overprotective of their men when they are in their 30s-50s. You reap what you sow. Men lean into this stuff hard -- anyone who mommies them -- get ready for a 60-70+ year old who "can't" handle basic things bc when they lose confidence in handling things alone in their 50s, do you think it'll be better in the next few decades? Are you ready for anyone to be THAT reliant on you??

What?! Have you all never done a road trip before? It’s really not that tough to drive six hours solo.

I don't think it's safe for DH to drive 6+ hours each way in a matter of 4 days (one day down, two days there, one day back). (DD does not have a license.) DH is confident he can do it, and he's generally a safe driver, but he rarely drives more than an hour at a time. Would you feel comfortable with your spouse driving so far by themselves?

Is this question for real?

I mean, are you really asking if your husband, a grown man, can safely drive 6 hours on two different days? Is he physically or mentally impaired? Are you? Is your child?

Gird your loins, my sister, because I, a feeble woman, just drove from Tyson's to Nashville, AND BACK, over the Labor Day weekend. And I did not have to retire to my deathbed after.

Jesus Christ people. Get. A. Grip.

As compared to every other post on this thread...? 😆

Anyway, everyone can stop posting now. Asked and answered.

Scrolled the entire thread to see if there was additional context but, finding none, declare this the dumbest post ever on DCUM, whether intended as a joke or not. It comes close to warranting a complete shut down of the forum on the grounds that it just destroys brain cells.

Lol!

As a doordash driver in California, this is super funny!
