Your husband is a wimp.

Gimme a break. Have them agree on a fun new podcast to listen to and they'll have a great time together

Everyone is ganging up on OP. It's enough.
OP, ignore the haters.

Are you ever in for a shock.

You realize your kid is a dime a dozen to them, right?

Will not let this asinine comment die!

Please do not pass your D-baggery on to your kids!

I've done that and more. I don't think it is a problem for average healthy drivers. You might consider the time of day, though. Exhausting for me at 4 in the afternoon. But if I start in the morning, really early, I'm fine.

PP, you’re insane. None of these things are necessary.


I can’t even tell if PP is being sarcastic- I hope so?


I was but DCUM is a place which obviously can't detect sarcasm.

Your kidding right? Six hours is very easy if every two hours you take a few minute break.

So many questions...

OP did your MIL make you take helicopter flight lessons before she handed over the keys, or were you already licensed?

This is my first encounter with a helicopter spouse.

We should really ask Jeff to have a pin section. Where we can pin the most absurd and reality detached posts stay forever!

I have regularly driven 12 hours straight, alone in the vehicle. He’ll be fine.

Lots of kids today don't drive. It is not that unusual. 2021 is not like 1985 where every 16 year old is dying to learn.
And explains a lot about all the issues GenZ has.

I’ve noticed this also. The only two teens living on my block do not drive (18 and 19). I was DYING to get out at their age.


I’m Gen-X and grew up in suburbia and I delayed learning to drive until senior year. Got my learners permit 2 years after I was old enough to. I was scared to drive. My mom was initially supportive of me waiting, though IIRC she eventually made me inconvenience friends for rides instead of her as “encouragement” to get me motivated.

I’ve now driven 14 hours solo multiple times. Not recently given work/spouse/kids. But man if I had the opportunity to take a long solo road trip I would JUMP at it.
