fsg d	You are being a great parent. Keep doing what your doing and one day she will realize that you are just being a good parent. But I suggest that you drive her full way and back. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Britluvzyaxoxo	Just have her take a cell phone, a car charger and make sure she knows she can call you if she needs directions or help. Honestly, not to frustrate you but honestly you can't stop her from going unless its your car. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

ticallionstallion316	i wouldnt let her, she dosent have the experience, thats one of the biggest mistakes by drivers they think having a license says that they are expert drivers.... Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

♥ e d e n ♥	I think you are making the right decision. Explain that you are not trying to ruin her fun, but you are only protecting her and you don't want her to suffer the emotional and physical impacts of possibly getting into an accident. Then again, the best way teenagers learn is through making mistakes and learning from them. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

sepester	NO, do not let her go whatsoever, trust me on this shell get over it :D Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

moltenwax	Why is there any question marks when you only typed statements and no questions? Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Homo Sapiens Sapiens	that will be dangerous if she just had her license, driving in highways can get pretty tricky even for experienced drivers. I would no recommend to do it. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

hootowl	I think that is very fair. Yes, she probably does not realize. I remember my daughter wanted to do the same thing and I said No Way! My daughter gets lost around the block too. Plus it is unsafe for a young lady to drive that far by herself. I have read plenty of stories where the woman gets killed because her car broke down and she was by her self. So, don't feel bad at all. Safety is more important than her being mad. Plus, if her boyfriend wants to see her bad enough than he will arrange to meet her 1/2 way! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Cowgirl@heart	she's 18 Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

lauris	well,just be more especific with her you know in other words,like you can't go by your self invited somene,that way i am not going to feel much worried,thing like this,that she sees that you want to let get go because you know how she feel for her boy frien, tell her to invited one of her friends,cousins,aunt or brother,and you are right,you are her mother and care for her,just remmember you are the boss,. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

bekista2206	get her a SAT NAV that might help least she wont get lost... and shes 18 now you need 2 let her go and have her own life.. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

PeaceLoveMusic	you know what be careful, figure out the area where she is going. map quest it, see if it is an okay drive. if its easy, give her a cell number, trust her. really trust her, tell her if she messes up she wont get that sort of privilege again. if its difficult and even you would have troubles, hand her the mapquest and tell her whats up. say driving half way would be fun. if she still says no to that, figure out how she is going to get there. you will feel better and so will she. try to work with both of you, good luck :) Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

fort worth.tx	Yeah, I wouldn't let her be the one to decide this. Doesn't sound like a smart idea. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Forest	Not many of my friends have parents who would let them drive 2.5 hours...or 1 hour for that matter. I say you're right..and I'm a teen! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Mudder	Tell him to drive to her! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

aalcira	Either she wants to take responsibility or get laid. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

haheha!	she is 18 she does not have to listen =p and where is the question and teach her to use a map and how will she grow up with you doing 1/2 of all the work ? Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

czech_me	She just got her license? Then she should understand that you are only looking out for her safety. Besides, he's the guy so he should pick her up. Also, as long as she is living under your roof and you are supporting her (at least somewhat) financially, then she needs to abide ny your rules and respect them. mother knows best! *And I'm sure she knows that but at her age, she might choose to be stubborn. Good luck! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

joe w	Let her go, she is 18 years old. Within the first week of getting my license I ended up driving in Boston and NYC alone. And I was only 17 years old. It was some of the best driving practice I have had. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

NSangel	hellno. don't let her go and do that. she hasn't got enuf driving experience. but i would not squash her confidence entirely. ya letting her drive 1/2 the way would be fine. or why not let her drive out of town, on the highway, and you drive where you think she might have problems (in the other town busy area?) if you can't compromise with her, just tell her the deal, take it or leave it. if she insists on driving alone, don't give her they keys. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

chansey	are you asking a question? or just telling ppl about something they don't care about? Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

zanthus100	not a good idea. Why drive her only half way???? Like what are YOU going to do at the half way point???? Tell her to hop on the bus, and you will even pay for the ticket. Whose CAR is it? Who pays for insurance? Your daughter has no business being upset. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

cheetah	There comes a time when a child is not longer a child and is an adult. Although you are right in your view as you are her parent but sometimes you have to let go of your children so they can also face life by themselves and be able to survive without your help! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

CynSationz	OH HELLLL NO!!! I'd be saying "no" Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No
