    My oldest daughter just turned 15 and got her driving permit. What this means is that she can drive with a parent at age 15, and then can get a full driver’s license at 16. So for now she is stuck learning to drive with mom or dad.

    I’m sure it will shock none of you learn that it took less than a week before I get a text from my daughter saying that she never wants to drive with her mother again. When I asked why, she said it is because she yells at her and it makes her nervous. Of course, I also get texts from my ex saying that 15 is a horrible driver, doesn’t pay attention, and she never wants to let her behind the wheel again. And this is a woman that will just grab the dash and prepare for a crash over any little thing. It used to scare the s~~~ out of me when I was driving.

    Now, this all blows over after a day or two. And of course I am teaching 15 how to drive as well. So, here are my take-aways:

    1. My ex is a bitch.
    2. The ex let’s her drive and then yells at 15 when she does something wrong. Dad teachers her how to drive and gives her actual tips to make driving easier. Things like accelerating out of a corner will bring the car back to going straight, and letting go of the steering wheel a little bit coming out of a curve instead of letting your arms get crossed.
    3. It took two women less than a week to start yelling at each other, and my ex didn’t have the capacity to be the adult in the situation.
    4. My ex is a bitch (bears repeating).
    5. 15 actually responds better to someone speaking to her in a calm way, and apparently the ex never learned this about her daughter. But they are the nurturing one’s right?
    6. Oh yeah, and my ex is a bitch (third time’s a charm….)

    The ex expects our daughter to just be a good driver and then yells when she isn’t. It must be nice to be able to just yell and bitch at everything until things are your way. I guess the good thing about this in the long run is that 15 gets to see what it’s like to be on the receiving end of a crazy bitch. It will be a good reminder to her not to grow up to be that crazy bitch, because no one will want to be around her. So, I guess in that way, my ex is teaching my daughter very valuable life skills. Driving a car just isn’t one of them.

    My experience with my wife is that she does not do well with high stress situations. Teaching someone to drive is stressful.

    I once tried to teach a women how to ride a motorcycle. Told her about the brakes first and foremost, then how to use the clutch, throttle, gear change and so on. She already had a licence to drive manual transmission cars, so those things should have been mostly obvious, but it seemed prudent to play it safe given the potential for injury.

    After I was satisfied she had a reasonable grasp of the basics I started the engine for her (because kickstart) and told her she could engage first gear and move off when ready. First thing she did was give it 3/4 throttle and drop the clutch. Thankfully both she and the bike survived with minimal damage.

    Turns out it was me being schooled that day, because no matter how good your intentions are, when s~~~ goes wrong it will be all your fault.

    Best leave it to a professional imo, they usually have dual control cars and they’re insured up the ass.

    Driving is too much of a responsability, i dont even think people should be allowed to drive before there 21 at least.

    You need to be at least 20 to your brain to be fully developed.

    And by the way, women cant teach S~~~ to anyone.

    You need to be able to keep calm and even under stress, not something a woman can do.

    And to explain in a calm, rational way all the details of driving?

    Thats like expecting a monkey to build a skyscraper.
    Not going to happen.

    You made me laugh at that one!

    My wife is also messed up when dealing with the kids… She has plans for their lives, and is hellbent that they play them through. Yelling or talking harshly is her way of dealing with them. Except it does not work, it only gets them angry and rebellious. Then she call me up and usually a discussion ensues about my “manhood”. Apparently beating the crap out of a kid solves everything, as long as it is “mother approved”.

    What I always point to her in these discussions that I have no authority, because she always takes it away from me. And that since she is the harsh one someone has to be the caring one.

    @taxguy, this reinforces my long-held conviction that every child, girl or boy, needs a strong fatherly presence in their life.

    Moms are great for so many things. Learning how to deal with the dangers of the real world are absolutely not among them.

    Society asks MGTOWs: Why are you not making more tax-slaves?

    I have taught both of my kids that already drive for all the reasons you mentioned TaxGuy. I taught the space cushion that Tower’s video highlights.

    Be prepared for all of your patience and effort to go mainly discarded after the license is in hand. My daughters are late brakers and hard accelerators, but now that they’re on their own insurance in their own rides I don’t worry quite as much.

    Mom was absolutely not wired for the natural mistakes and repeated calm corrections required to do behind the wheel instruction. The funny thing is that until that point my kids thought I was a hard ass disciplinarian, but once they showed me they could take direction and control a couple tons of metal they opened up and started talking to me about things they never would have before that.

    Enjoy being the cool parent again, even if it’s short lived and your daughter considers you a jerk after the license is in hand because you’re just part of the patriarchy trying to hold her down. I’m mostly joking about the last part. Enjoy the bonding time.

    I failed to realize in my youth that I was the prize. I was going to work. I was going to earn. Little did I realize that due to feminism, that no longer meant I had to share. Road soon, Desert after.
