Growing up, my mother never drove. There were no physical reasons why she couldnt, she just chose never to learn. I heard she had a few lessons from my uncle, but never cared to get her license. Anyways, growing my dad had to drive her everywhere, to the store(she could never go by herself)to to drs appts, to the beautyshop etc.. When my brothers were old enough, they had to chauffer my mother around, when I became old enough it became my responsibility. My mother is 71 and still doesnt drive, and my dad still takes her everywhere. My dad worked 6 days a week, and on his day off he spent driving my mother all around town because my mother couldnt do errands with out him. I NEVER understood this. She was never in a bad accident, didnt have any physcial problems. I dont understand how you can depend on people for EVERYTHING in your life. I mean if there were a physical problem I could certainly understand it and would be sympathetic.
Because she didnt drive I wasnt allowed to do anything afterschool, there was no ballet or art class, or ice skating lessons etc..there was no trying out for the sports team at school, WHY because I had nobody to take me to these things. If I couldnt walk, or take a bus, I couldnt go.
To this day, I still resent my mother for this.(she doesnt know of course).My dad always offered to buy her a car if she got her license, but she never did. I just dont get it.
When we go places together I do the driving. I love to drive though, plus the driver controls the radio.
