[quote=Anonymous]Can you make car time a treat for yourself? I listen to audiobooks and play candy crush. It’s better than doing the dinner dishes or other house chores. You could also consider setting her up with teen uber and a monthly allowance, telling her what you are willing to drive to, and letting her decide what it’s worth spending money on beyond that - especially if she’s going with friends. My teens sometimes take uber to sports practice together when DH and I can’t make it home in time and I told my older one (16) that I was only willing to drive to/from his GF’s house once a week. If he wanted to see her more than that she had to figure out rides or he had to spend his own money on uber. Seemed fair. Once I wasn’t his on-call driver he became a bit more thoughtful about when he really wanted to go out. [/quote]
