[quote=sunshineandrain]When our son was born my husband let everybody know that only he or I could drive our son.  Across the board—nobody.

Now our tot is 4 and my mom’s lobbying to be able to drive him around.  It’s true that my mom is a bad driver.  In the past 10 years, she’s had a few accidents, including totaling a car 2 years ago.  And she may have totaled a rental car 8 years ago.

My mom lives across the country so only sees him 2-3 times year.  She just wants to be able to drive him to the library, pool, park or to do errands, etc.  Sometimes when she visits it’s because his school is closed and she cares for him so we can work.  Then I really feel like a jerk.  My mom is an A+ grandma and I know she’s[b] never[/b] intentionally hurt one hair on his head.

She’s visiting soon and really wants to drive him.  And she’d be okay with limits, like no freeway driving (she is [i]terrible [/i]on the freeway).  I’m ready to relent and let her take him around but my husband isn’t.  He doesn’t even like it when I ride with her.

Advice?
