I noticed in your post on the "You or Your DH/W?" thread, that your W doesn't drive. I also don't drive, and H and I argue about what we are going to do once we have kids and having two drivers will be essential (we aren't TTC now, probably in a few years). I think I've seen in previous posts that you and your W are TTC, so do you plan on teaching her to drive?
DH really doesn't want to teach me, but how else will I learn? I'm interested in how another 1 driver household handles having only 1 driver/teaching the other to drive

Re: ***niq***
Well, she knows how to drive. .. sorta. But she only has a permit. And my car is a stick, and she doesn't know how to drive stick.
We have a friend with an old Honda Civic stick that's willing to teach people, so that's who she'll be learning from. I would see if you can get a friend to teach you as well.
I've heard bad things about H's teaching their W's how to drive and vice versa. I don't think I want to teach her, that could go ... badly.
1st year anniversary in Victoria with a killer whale topiary!
i taught h to drive. it was hard. he used to have panic attacks... it was nuts and i couldn't understand. but he drives now.. but when we drive together, i drive. it sucks.
WOW! I thought I was the only person in the world who had an SO who didn't drive!! H just got his license not too long ago for work, and he can drive an automatic, but he doesn't like it. He can drive a stick too, but he only does it if he absolutely has to. I was one of the people to teach H to drive a stick, and he was doing a pretty good job at it, but then he got pulled over for accidentally spinning the tires as he was going from a stop at a red light, and he hasn't driven a stick since
this. i'd go with a friend teaching you.
my h didn't "teach" me to drive, but he coached, and got me comfortable with driving stick. i had "known" how to do it for years, but nobody was ever comfortable with allowing me out in the world with their car...when h and i started dating, he told me that if something happened to him while we were out, it would be mandatory for me to drive, and i would need to be comfortable with it...so he forced me into it. it wasn't *tooooo* bad, but maybe because we were freshly dating at that time, and he still needed to impress me and couldn't get mad at me haha.

jumped ship to the new and improved nest. back to TB for baby boards.
Long story short, my parents didn't like taking me out to practice driving when I was 16, according to them since I was on honor roll and school came easy, so should driving. It didn't. I failed the driving test 3 times, and I didn't go for a 4th time.
