Adult parents, help me please?

I’m just wondering, if your 14 year old daughter had a 16 year old boyfriend who you liked very much and completely approved of, would you let your daughter drive with him?

If not, why?

Answer #1

No… because no matter how much you love a child’s boyfriend or girlfriend, you just can’t trust your baby’s life in somebody else’s inexperienced hands. Teens are easily distracted, and don’t even realize it. There is a lot of showmanship driving when an older boy has his girlfriend in the car, and that is dangerous.

Besides the safety issue, this also means that this older, more mature, and probably charming boy has complete and unsupervised control over the girl (who I’m assuming is you). It’s easy to say, ‘no he won’t pressure me into having sex, or force me to do anything I don’t want to do’, but when you’re out there in the world, and hormones are raging and you really really think you love him, it can happen. OR if he gets it in his head that he has to have sex right that very moment, and you don’t want to, well, who is around to stop him? Not all guys are creeps. Not all boyfriends drive their younger girlfriends to golf courses and rape them under the guise of a ‘romantic late night picnic’. Not all girls are stupid enough to fall for that and get themselves into trouble. But then again some are.

Answer #2

no I very much doubt a 16 year old has his full license also , as a learner driver he would need to have at least one adault with a full license in the car

Answer #3

Iloveyouuu – No I won’t allow her to drive with him, not even around the corner. I know sometimes it is a nuisance to take and fetch your kids from friends, but I love my kids too much to risk their lives like that. I know a 14yr old would perhaps hate her parents for that, but I promise you, you would hate yourself forever if she get into an accident and be paralyzed or die. I know an accident can also happen even if your kids are in your car, but that is a total different situation, parents know their responsibility and would always protect their kids, whereto a 16yr old won’t. Driving at the age of 16 means, he would only be able to respond on the basics, and he won’t have nearly enough driving skills, need more experience !

That is only my opinion

Answer #4

when I was 14 my mom was letting my drive around with my 16 year old boyfriend

if the guy cares about your daughter enough he will make the judgement

if he knows that hes a great driver and has enough experience to risk your daughters life so be it…it may be the test to see if he really does love her and if you should love him see if hes trustworthy

one screw up in that car and he didnt care about your daughters safety at all…he may havet thought he did but what do you expect from a teenage boy?

if he honestly and truly loves/cares about your daughter he wouldnt even mention her being in the car with him if he didnt think he was experienced enough.

Answer #5

Uhm, if he had been driving the approved amount of time then yeah I would. I mean honestly you can’t keep your kids from life. it’s f’ed up. my boyfriends 17 and im 15, and my mom would let me drive with him right now if only he had a car. aha.

Answer #6

yup

Answer #7

…drive… as in a car?

Answer #8

I wouldnt

Answer #9

Well I agree with those above. Some parents are more protective than others but only because its harder for them to trust putting the life of their daughter in the hands of a 16 year old boy that just got his license. anything could happen and they’d always hold him accountable rather they wanted to or not and no one wants that on their conceince.

Answer #10

provided he has had his license the required amount of time, I would let my daughter ride with him
