[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid's perfect world would be a car be can get into, tell it where he wants to go, and then sit back and scroll through social media while the car drives him where he wants to go. And I think he is not alone. This generation is ripe for self-driving cars.[/quote]

Not my kids, but then again I didn't raise them to be like this either.  Both of my teens got their licenses first day they could.  I[b] still limit screen time on their electronics[/b], but I never limit face to face time, never limit driving, and [b]always encourage independency[/b].  [/quote]

The bolded is flat-out contradictory.

Anyhow, I think what you meant to say is that you are a control freak. [/quote]

A control freak?  :lol:  You a lazy ass mom setting zero boundaries and letting your kid be helpless. Cool mom. [/quote]

Fascinating. Totally fine with mommy actively monitoring the electronics of a 17-year-old, and forcing kids who don't want to drive into the DMV, but claims that is "having boundaries." Such a weird opposite-to-reality world. Obviously in the real world the mommy who controls the electronics of a kid who will be a legal adult in 1-2 years and the one who doesn't let kids take responsibility for their own decisions re driving is the one teaching helplessness, but it's wild to see your cognitive dissonance.[/quote]
