[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DD is 13.

Recently in a carpooling situation, she became nervous because the driver was frequently looking at his phone while driving (not just at red lights -- but while the car was in motion). DD is pretty assertive so she asked that he stop at least until she was out of the car. [b]His response was to mock her as "safety girl" in front of all of her friends.[/b]

Besides the obvious that she will never ride in a car with these folks again, I'm curious how you would handle this. I told DD she did the right thing and next time she feels like her safety is being threatened to call one of us parents on the spot and asked to be picked up, even if it means being dropped off by the driver somewhere. But that doesn't really seem like a good solution.

Are you positive this was mocking?  He was probably defensive.  I'm not certain his comment was that bad.  I'd probably respond in a similar fashion.  It seems weird that you're that upset someone might have said something a tiny bit rude to your daughter.  [/quote]

Your response to being called out for doing something wrong is to insult someone? Are you currently in therapy for that character defect?[/quote]
Not pp. But lighten up[/quote]
