DH taught DD2 to drive, Ex taught DD1. We started DD2 in the lower parking lot of her school (it's called the Basin - picture a bowl shaped area that floods when it rains.) There he showed her the turn signals, window wipers, etc....

DH and I weren't going to be home. This was a last minute call to DD2 - as in he called her Friday at noon and informed her "K and J are coming in. Want to come to dinner?" (We all assumed until about 4 o'clock that he would be...

Two of DD2's stepcousins are coming into town from Connecticut and Alabama. She really wants to go see them. At her dad's house. An hour away. In the rain. She hasn't even been driving a year yet. In our decree it states that if Ex wants...
