Sorry to hear that. It's always nerve-wracking when your kids start learning to drive. It does get better, eventually - trust me on this; I've been through it twiceMy 16yo daughter has had her learners permit for just over 24 hours. So far she has driven over 4 snow banks and the last one required my vehicle to be towed to a shop for loss of transmission fluid. Just waiting to see how much $$ this will cost me.
Driving school is an option.Thankfully the damage is minimal. The problem is the required parts aren’t available in Canada and have to be shipped from the U.S not major, just a broken fitting on the transmission cooler line. The mechanic will bypass the internal cooler while leaving the external cooler functional.
Teaching driving to someone completely clueless on how to operate a vehicle is nerve wracking to say the least. She cried for over an hour about breaking my vehicle. I’ll have to get her back behind the wheel in an empty lot to practice turns.

lol, I use to let my husband take care of driving instruction (he was way calmer)She is signed up for driver training. We do however want her to get a little driving time in before she starts in February. We decided to bring her to a light industrial area in the evenings to practice. The area is quiet, little if any traffic and quite a few large parking areas to practice in.
It's really hard when you can see what's happening but loved ones can't. You can encourage and support but as adults they will choose what happens next. Try to keep yourself well so that you are on hand when they need support. Good luck.Being stuck in an argument between my mentally ill daughter and my mentally ill sister.
Sister decided to broadcast all over a forum exactly why my daughter has social services involvement due to the past criminal history of her current boyfriend/fiance. And I'm stuck in the middle because both need help and support and I dont really know what to do about either of them.
My daughter will be 29 in May and my sister is 45 next month.
My daughter's girls are being involved in this and so are my sister's kids.
Went to bed with a migraine and heavily sedated
Today, so far, is quiet
Can we ask why?Seriously why do kids never listen. My youngest is going to get such an ear bashing later today.
He went to a&e on Saturday . He's burst a blood vessel in his eye . Dr said he wasn't to drive until he'd been back to see them today. His work call him yesterday wanting him in as couldn't get cover. He delivers takeaways . So when his girlfriend told me this I told her that he wouldn't be covered on his insurance if he were to have an accident . Late that evening his legs went numb he wouldn't go back to hospital. So I got his girlfriend to google his symptoms I told her it would scare him and it did . That's when he stopped working . Today he's been back to hospital and given the all clear.Can we ask why?
