[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You can just say politely, if you have nothing nice to say then let's just listen to the radio and drive in silence. Something to make her aware of her morning tude and then move on. If it doesn't change then perhaps figure out a different way to get to school[/quote] +1 Except I wouldn’t offer the radio part just because music can also be divisive and I don’t like to have the radio on when driving. In addition to telling her she needs to be silent if she can’t manage civility, I would occasionally add that she might want to reflect on the fact that you’re doing her a favor to make her life easier. I say this about once a month to my teen DS when he’s grumpy on the way to school, which is fortunately rare. He is always very full of suggestions about how I should take a different route or go faster while driving, to which I always respond that I’ll drive in the way I feel comfortable.[/quote]
