Driving tests and ninjutsu

My DD did kickboxing for three and a half years starting when she was 8 but we had to move far away three years later. It's been two years since we moved. She enjoyed kickboxing and did about 2-4 hours everyday for 4-7 days of the week (sometimes kickboxing training one on one sessions throughout the weekends training for competitions) The place we moved to doesn't have any kickboxing gyms (have been looking for the past two years, not over exaggerating) and to no avail my DD has started looking into other martial art classes that are available. She's discovered her "dream martial arts" ninjutsu. She says she's been doing it in her dreams for years. I bought my DD yoga and Pilates DVD's for beginners as she's new to that but we don't really have the space in the house and her queen-sized bed takes up most of her room space (not getting rid of that, my DD loves that bed) Regardless of that I've started driving lessons a few weeks ago because I haven't been able to do it for years due to my DDs busy kickboxing schedule and that was time consuming and expensive as both of my kids participated in it. I'm in a financial situation where I could afford the driving lessons at the same as the ninjutsu classes but driving lessons are stressful and having ninjutsu and driving lessons on the schedule just won't work for me. AIBU?

Yes YABU. It's great that your daughter has a physical hobby that's good exercise. It's obviously important to her. I'm sure you can make the time to have one driving lesson a week.
