They grow up too quick

[Trinity]

Well now I'm sad I just sent my 11 year old off on his first day at middle school and my 14 year old starts his first day of high school on Monday. Can I rewind back to 3 and 1 year old please?!

[krisy]

I feel your pain! Jacob is now old enough to get his temps!! (doesn't mean it happen right now tho

Savannah is starting 4th grade..

[Mr. P]

Oh, Moooommmmmm !!

[Trigg]

it's awful isn't it.......my oldest is now a senior. I can't believe how fast the years have flown.

Luckily I still have one in 3rd grade.

Yeah the other day William and I were discussing that to, he only has about a year left and he can get his temps. According to him he said his father is paying for driving school so he can get his license as soon as he turns 16. I'm not sure how I feel about that...I think I would rather him wait till he's 18.

For sure! i don't want Jacob driving at 16,I allready told him that. We are going to take it very slow.

only an asshole of a parent would keep their kid from getting their license at 16 if they could.

[Mr. P]

Only a whiny, spoiled, immature brat would think such a thing. Yer gonna LOVE basic training.

[LiberalNation]

No any decent human would think the same thing.

A lot of people said basic was pretty fun after the first 2 weeks. I'm hoping I will.

Only a parent who cared about the safety and wellbeing of their child would make SURE they were ready for the responsibility of driving a vehicle before handing them the keys.

Many 16yr olds are NOT READY for the responsibility of handling a 4000 pound vehicle moving at 60mph.
I'm one of those asshole parents that made DAMN SURE my son was ready for that responsibility. I would rather make him wait then scrape him up from the road side.

translation, I want to control my kid and keep them from getting any independence from me. State says you’re good at 16 and you are.

Translation I would rather my child learn how to be a good driver so I don't have to pay for a funeral. Just because the law says they're ready doesn't mean they are.

My son is now 17 and a very safe driver, unlike some of his friends.

Take the time to review the mortality rates by age of driver. This has nothing to do with control and everthing with making sure kids are safe and know what they are doing in EVERY driving situation.

Some 16yr olds are ready for the responsibility and some aren't.

You really wouldn't know if you aren't with him all the time he is driving.

[Trigg]

You really wouldn't know if you aren't with him all the time he is driving.

I know he hasn't gotten any speeding tickets and hasn't wrecked his car. I also know how he drives when he's with his sister or brother.

[LiberalNation]

Never got a speeding ticket either. Doesn't mean I don't go 90 in a 65 zone.
