I’ll keep this short cos there’s a lot of background. I don’t have much of a relationship with my mother. I speak to her when I have to and very little details are given because she’s a control freak.
I’m passed my driving test in October 23 and she found out this morning I had planned to take my two kids (13, 8) so not babies on a ‘fun’ day trip a 2.5 hr drive away on the motorway. She absolutely booted off, shouting down the phone at me like I’m a fucking child. Telling me how irresponsible I am, to have some common sense and how she’s clearly the only one looking out for my kids. She said I need experience I’ll end up killing us all and it’ll be on my head.
im a good driver I don’t speed, I drive daily on dual carriageways. I have driven myself to Scotland and back from the Yorkshire area without an incident.
she wants me to do pass plus. I work full time am a single parent and don’t have the ££ or the spare time to take additional lessons.
am I been unreasonable to want to go where I want when I want without having to run everything past my mother.
