In the town where I grew up with most women did not drive. Most of my older relatives never learned to drive...men or women. We had a good bus system and everyone walked to town. It was about a mile + to town from most of the houses. I did not need or try to drive till we moved from there and there were no buses going where we needed. I prefer to stay home and take care of the home. I do drive but line up to do many chores out on the day I do go out. My husband taught the children to drive. I was happy he volunteered for the job. :) I am happiest at home! :-) Please don't let one mistake make you worry over driving.

Oops....i do understand abou...Dearest Mrs. White, <br /><br />Oops....i do understand about hitting poles. Though I try really hard to be a great driver, there are times I have hit some things. Oops. I usually drive my daughter's car and because of that I am extra careful so when I switched cars and was driving our little Aveo with my mister in the passenger side, I went to pick up the mail. This car is closer to the ground and as I was pulling up to the curb....crunch, the car went over the new curb in our little town. I squealed an awkward sound. eeeeck.<br /><br />One of my Grammas never learned to drive and her boys made sure she was taken care of. Other Grandma drove into her 90s and gave it up after she rammed her car into the garage.<br /><br />I love being able to drive across the Flint hills of Kansas when others are not trying to run me off the road. As I was driving home from Topeka yesterday (going the speed limit) so many young girls driving too fast and nearly up on my bumper.<br /><br />It was awful. If I could find a back road into Topeka, I'd take it.<br /><br />I am going to relish in staying home more and working on sprucing up my haven!<br /><br />Enjoyed visiting your place today.<br />Blessings to you,<br />dDeannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08019741103496608961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4718905863879655459.post-77257640902661403812013-06-21T11:21:39.807-04:002013-06-21T11:21:39.807-04:00My paternal grandma didn't drive, I think my o...My paternal grandma didn't drive, I think my only grandma and great-grandma's who did was my maternal one but she had a severe car accident that left her physically disabled until her death :(<br /><br />I remember thinking how it was that my grandma didn't drive but now that I'm almost 35 and have been driving since I was 16 I hate it. If my children weren't in activities for their 'socialization' I could totally stay at home and be fine with my hubby driving me everywhere when he gets off work. Today it's so dangerous with people texting, calling, and what not while driving with no thought to what can happen to that family that will be affected by their choices. of course my hubby driving doesn't protect us but I still feel 'safer' when he is with us all.<br />Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00898861477583862553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4718905863879655459.post-55663604827598650492013-06-20T15:11:33.543-04:002013-06-20T15:11:33.543-04:00So sorry about your little accident, Mrs. White! ...So sorry about your little accident, Mrs. White! :(<br /><br />Glad it wasn't worse!<br /><br />My grandmother (my dad's mother) never learned to drive until the day she died in her late 80s! <br /><br />My other grandmother (my Mom's mother) did learn to drive, and it was a good thing, as my grandfather had MS for many years and could not drive. She had to take him to doctor appointments, to the hospital, etc.<br /><br />Times have changed and I think learning to drive is a necessity for most Moms today.<br />busymomof10https://www.blogger.com/profile/16801397516931688515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4718905863879655459.post-21394812722560547402013-06-20T14:18:53.204-04:002013-06-20T14:18:53.204-04:00I rarely drive anymore as the Man-of-the-House tak...I rarely drive anymore as the Man-of-the-House takes me. Passing the Amish buggies is unnerving on our winding, hilly, country roads - but the scenery is charming here in southern Lancaster County, PA. <br />We must drive two hours to the center of Philadelphia to see a specialist there now and again. The Man-of-the-House does remarkably well at this feat. Oh, the traffic and one way streets . . . <br />It feels so good to be home again when we walk in through the kitchen door. <br />Karen A.

I hated every minute of driving. I drove for a few years and then my husband said I should stop. I was so relieved. I am 57 now and do not miss it at all.Doloreshttp://alwaysamess-lorie.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
