My baby is not a...

[2Blonde]

Baby anymore. She turned 16 last month and has now had her driver's license for 3 1/2 weeks. I drew a graphite pencil portrait of her from a recent photo, but every time I look at it all I can think of is another picture we had taken when she was 3yrs old. Damn, it's just not right.

Amazing isn't it? My daughter turned 12 today! I can't believe it's been 12 yrs since the scariest day of my life......She was born 3 months early, weighing in at a whopping 1 lb and 15 oz.!!!! You should see her now, she's awesome. Heck I think I need a drink......

Yeesh, I'm just glad I have 10 more years before I'm in your shoes.

Fillmoe,
That'll never happen because we put a GPS Tracker on her car and know where she's at every minute.
Besides, she has self respect and standards and wouldn't give you the time of day, much less anything else. :loser

2blonde do you seriously track your daughter every minute with that gps

Hell yes I do!! I can go online and get up to the minute status or set it to send me a report every day. Additionally I can input speed and geographical parameters and it will alert me if she goes to fast or goes outside a certain area during the school hours I have set.
We told her when she wanted a car that this was part of the deal. You never know when someone is going to try and carjack your daughter or steal your car. Plus it's an added way for her to gain our trust by being able to back up what she is telling us. I think it also lowers your insurance rates, although I'm not sure about that one.

2B, you rock! We can't take chances with our baby girls. Did you give her a "probationary" period with the GPS or will it always be there?

Always be there, until she's not living in the house, and supporting herself:toast

Another 14 years!

[2Blonde]

Your poor daughter. You're worse than Big Brother.
Damn right!! The way I see it is she is 16 (a minor), not 18. She doesn't support herself, she's driving a car that I pay the exorbitant insurance on, I pay for one tank of gas a week, I pay to feed & clothe her and keep her healthy. The very least she can do is give her parents the peace of mind of knowing where she is and that she isn't out speeding and endangering others. It's not like I actually sit there and watch her movements 24/7, although theoretically I could. If she doesn't make it home when she is supposed to then I might check. Other than that, I just scan a daily report. She's a pretty good kid but she does have her moments.

[2Blonde]

2B, you rock! We can't take chances with our baby girls. Did you give her a "probationary" period with the GPS or will it always be there?

We haven't really decided that yet. Maybe when she's 18, or supporting herself which I don't expect to happen until after college. Once she's done with it, I wouldn't mind putting it on my car. You never know when something could happen and it would sure be nice to be able to know my movements could be tracked if I went missing,

[CuckingFunt]

I didn't get my license until I was 21, but if I'd had a license and a car with GPS when I was 16, my mother would have probably been disappointed to see that I wasn't out getting into trouble. I've never been rebellious enough for her.

Cause After all YOU did have her... So its her fault she has to put you through all this...anyway I am not sure how I would do this...I mean I dont know if I would tell her or not...Because the whole telling her just makes her smarter and trying to ditch the ride and find other means...at the same time you can still catch her in lies... i would try it out for a few months then see how things matched up...if they went smooth then I would tell her about it...tough one...but much needed either way...I know my babysitter is having mad issues with her daughter and shes only like 14 or 13. I'm ol hell nah...My littler girls only 2 and I cant imagine 10 to 12 years from now I just cant....

[KidCongo]

Whats the age law for driving in the US?

Whats the age law for driving in the US?

Fifteen for a learners permit and someone over 21 (I think) has to be in the car with them, 16 to driver by yourself.

This doesn't happen very often but I have to agree with Filmoe here. If that would have happened to me I would have found a way to get around it and probably gotten into more trouble. My parents put a lot of trust in me, which when your 15 mins from Mexico shouldnt happen. Those 10 dollar all you can drink nights when you are 16, were awesmoe!!Oh yeah and yes Pee Wee will salivate when he reads this thread.

2blonde and her husband installing a breathalyzer car starter in their daughters car

That, no cell phone until they have a DL and banning them from the MySpaces of the world.

I'd ban them from having a cell phone and a drivers license. They shouldn't be talking on the phone and driving. And yes, I know a cell phone is a safety item in case they breakdown, have a wreck etc., but at least fork out $30 for a bluetooth so they don't juggle holding a cell phone, putting on mascara and trying to wave at their friend in the car behind them.

[DisgruntledLionFan#54,927]

Cell would be just for emergency purposes but solid points nonetheless.

I love my bluetooth, but have been known to text and drive. But not with my kids in the car, they yell at me!

[DisgruntledLionFan#54,927]

Texting is slowly getting on my nerves. If you're out on the town, don't text and try to hold a convo at the same time. Pick one and be done with it.

It's a complete turnoff and I walked away from a sure thing because of it. And I was the asshole in her eyes.

Maybe I am just getting old.

[mrsmaalox]

:wow

No I don't really; I won't even talk and drive, I'm too easily distracted to multitask. I've recently been seeing more people reading books while driving!

[BacktoBasics]

I get 2B's stance. My hats off to you for being honest about the tracking equipment being part of the deal. Some parents would have done that secretly behind the kids back. Approach and how you do something is everything with a 16 year old. Excellent job!

Then I'm getting old too. I think it's the height of rudeness to take a phone call when you are anywhere in public, especially if you're with someone. I was behind someone in Subway once who was on their phone while trying to order their sandwich and when the guy asked her what veggies she wanted she scowled and put her finger up like "hold on, can't you see I'm on the phone???" and held up the line.

And people who talk on the their cell phone while eating out at a restaurant PISS ME OFF!! The only time I'm ever worried about my phone ringing when I'm out to dinner with fatsak is if the kids aren't with us. If they call, I'll answer it, other than them, whoever it is can leave a message and I'll check it later.

My boys are 5 and 2, I wonder how much I need to be up in their business when they hit teenager-dom.

I have that because Verizon won't let me get rid of it easily, and I don't feel like jumping through hoops to get a 99¢ monthly charge taken off my bill. That feature doesn't bother me too much depending on the song, but most people who call me are confused if they're not expecting it.

One of my biggest cell phone pet peeves (in addition to the general overuse/social etiquette pet peeve) is the use of ringtones that have words. I like fun ringtones -- my phone has "Soul Bossa Nova" (the Austin Powers theme), the Batman theme, and a few others that I've downloaded -- but I absolutely can't stand when people have a clip of a song that includes the lyrics. I also hate when people use cheap and/or homemade ringtones that are really low quality and/or distorted. Lastly, anyone whose ringtone is a siren, someone obnoxiously shouting "Hey! Answer your damn phone!", or some other random collection of noises, deserves to be shot.
