Growing up, I always looked forward to the freedom of driving, but my mom just wouldn’t let me get behind the wheel. It felt frustrating and honestly, a bit isolating when my friends talked about their road trips. Looking back, I realize her worries came from a place of love and concern for my safety. If you’re in the same boat, try having an open conversation about her fears. Offer to take a defensive driving course together or start with short, supervised drives. Sometimes, trust builds one mile at a time. Have you faced something similar? Share your story below! #ParentingJourney #FamilyTalks #DrivingIndependence #Cars
