I'm glad to find I'm not the only one.<BR/><BR/>(un)relaxeddad, it sounds like you've reached a complete Catch-22. Good thing your city has good public transit! (Okay, "good" is a relative term, but my point of comparison is Philadelphia, a city shaped like a splat, where every single subway and commuter train is routed through the same downtown station.)S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06957943262402999997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-55830807767176233.post-66193656650260852932007-05-24T02:55:00.000-04:002007-05-24T02:55:00.000-04:00One previous cause of stress between us has been t...One previous cause of stress between us has been that I can't drive at all which put all the driving onus on supermum, even when pregnant. Which isn't good. Though she now contends that if I <I>did</I> learn to drive at this late stage, she wouldn't trust me at the wheel anyway. Driving seems to be an area where people's normal trust relationships don't entirely apply.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-55830807767176233.post-85565270111748202082007-05-23T10:32:00.000-04:002007-05-23T10:32:00.000-04:00Oh, I had a similar weird reaction to driving the ...Oh, I had a similar weird reaction to driving the car in the early months Lyra was born. I was actually *terrified* to drive because I was afraid that I might have an accident and she might get hurt. As the hormones faded, so did the terror, LOL.Mrs. Coulterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14439504732028752632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-55830807767176233.post-76565520312704028302007-05-22T21:50:00.000-04:002007-05-22T21:50:00.000-04:00Thanks for commenting, Niobe.

Not that this is a high-comment blog at the best of times, but when there's that much silence right after some lively comments, you realize you must have just sent out a big clunker.<BR/><BR/>Of course, you're right, only A. can answer my question.<BR/><BR/>Really, I think I went on at such length because I am feeling vulnerable and unmoored not just in cars. My driving stuff is a reflection of everything else.S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06957943262402999997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-55830807767176233.post-45317914427378392192007-05-22T19:13:00.000-04:002007-05-22T19:13:00.000-04:00Have I left her more slack to pick up than is real...<I>Have I left her more slack to pick up than is realistic or fair? </I><BR/><BR/>My answer would really depend on how A feels about it. If she's happy with the situation, it doesn't sound like a real problem. Unless, of course, you really don't trust her driving.niobehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10685766216611639434noreply@blogger.com
