Sweet Jesus.  How old are your kids?  Because my son is 17.  He has a job.  He drives himself to sports- for example Legion baseball doesn't have buses, kids carpool and travel together, sometimes up to an hour away.  He takes his girlfriend out on dates.  He's going shopping today to buy her an gift- kinda tough when both parents work.

Listen- my kid is moving out of our house in about 14 months.  If you honestly think you can foster independence by keeping him in bubble wrap until he's 18, I will strongly disagree.  Driving a car has very little to do with being the "cool kid".  [/quote]

Does fostering independence require a driver's license? You can't have an independent kid unless the kid has a driver's license and access to a car?[/quote]

I think it adds to it.  Are you seriously going to drive your kid to and from a job?  Drive him on dates?  Take him to his friends' houses?

How old are your kids and when did YOU start driving?  I'm genuinely curious.  [/quote]
Different poster, but I learned to drive and got a car at 18. What's wrong with that? Or 21 for that matter?[/quote]
