I’m not going to lie, having a kid that drives now has been pretty great. When Zack got his license back in February, I didn’t realize just how much of an asset it would be to me and Alex.
Now that he drives, he is able to get himself and his sister to school, pick up Alexander as needed and this summer, he’ll be driving the 3 of them to summer school every morning for me too so I don’t have to pack everyone up to go.
Yes, when he first got his license I was crazy nervous but now, almost 4 months later, I am happy to report that my nerves are a lot better. He’s a great driver, takes great care of his car, does routine maintenance on it and he’s even taken some shop classes at school so he can do even more repairs if need be.
Zack doesn’t have the best car but the good thing is that it runs, it is in one piece and it is paid for. Right now he’s working as much as he can to put money away for college and for a new (to him) car while he also works to restore his old pickup truck with my dad.
Needless to say, it rocks having him as another driver in the house. Next up….Libby starts drivers ed in July….
