A 19-year-old has yet to acquire her driver's license, having adapted to using public transport and gaining independence in college. Despite practicing driving, she experiences anxiety about her readiness for the road test. Currently, they practice together, focusing on building her confidence through varied driving experiences. The parent feels mixed emotions about their daughter's delayed timeline, having gone through feelings of frustration and understanding, while appreciating her independence in navigating her transportation needs without a license.
Getting a driver's license has been a quintessential American milestone, yet my 19-year-old daughter still doesn't have her license despite being independent in other ways.
My daughter has adapted well to public transit and learned self-sufficiency in college, making driving feel less urgent for her.
We're currently practicing driving; she is 19 and doesn't need to log hours, but she feels unready and wants to build confidence first.
As a parent, I struggle with mixed feelings about her delayed timeline for getting a driver's license, experiencing moments of both frustration and understanding.
