[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kids are 16 and 14 and they have only been driven by dh and I. Its a non issue. I was a sahm when they were younger so not an issue. I guess if you put work first then you have to settle for others driving them.[/quote] Wow, I can see nixing particular drivers you know are bad from driving around your kids (for example elderly grandparents or in our case DS's best friend's dad -- it's tricky but we manage to lever let him drive DS). But I can't imagine having kids your age who have only been driven by DH and me. That is a real control freak thing and someday your kids will resent it. (I say this from experience, because my mom was a control freak about driving and I still resent her for it.) And don't you ever have a time where one child wants to go on a day drip with a friend's family? Or one kid needs to be someplace and another needs to be somewhere else? By the way, see what I did there with the construction "by DH and me" ? With prepositions, always use objective case. If you wouldn't say "by I/with I/for I/to I" then you shouldn't say "by/with/for/to so & so and I." I figure if you can smugly lecture working moms on their priorities and commitment to their children, I can smugly lecture you on your grammar mistakes. ;-) [/quote]
