[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I forced or strongly encouraged mine to get their license as soon as possible. While they were still young in HS and under my control. I think it is easier fir younger people to pick up the skills and get them embedded when they are still teens.
Teaching them around DCUM is nerve wracking but at least you still have some control. Learning later I feared maybe they  would hit the freeway without a clue how dangerous that can be. 
Also I see these kids who are 19 or 20 be so embarrassed that they put it off and put it off. No parent handy to say take the car and practice. It’s like they outgrew the parents but didn’t get the skills. [/quote]

Most parents do not teach skills. I learned how to change my own oil, tires, air filters, etc.. I washed my own cars, learned a lot of indoor and outdoor chores. Learned how to use power tools, actually mowed the lawn, etc... I am female.

[b]Most teens do not even work a PT job[/b] and I know plenty of those unemployed teens whose family pay for lawn service instead of having their capable kids to do it. They probably pay for roadside assistance, housekeeper, etc...

Most 19yr old are embarrassing book smart only.

Most 19 year olds work full time. [/quote]

Most are in school[/quote]

DCUM folks are terrible at statistics and through around the words “most” and “few” like candy. [/quote]

Tip - when you try to “own a PP,” proofread your own post so you don’t look foolish![/quote]
