ok so im 16 and just got my permit..every driving lesson ends in a headache because my mom would get crazy..telling me to do 5 different things..like i pulled into the parking lot of a park and shes like:
"stop right here...put the car in park..then she would see i was blockin a car so she would be like " pull over here..park over there.." it drove me nuts! i understand when she says to stay over more on the road...instructional things for me to learn..but when she spazzes out it gets really nervouss and upset..is there anything i can do? dont say only drive with my dad because i mostly am with my mom..my dad works nights so he sleeps all day...so i only drive with him sometimes...

Want to answer more questions in the Relationships category?
Maybe give some free advice about: Families?
tell her that you know how to drive, so she doesn't have to keep telling you all this stuff! if you didn't know how to drive, then you wouldn't have gotten your permit, but since you have, YOU KNOW HOW TO DRIVE! say that it makes you even more nervous and stresses you out when she keeps saying stuff like that to you! tell her that she can say stuff like stay over more on the road and stuff that you can learn, but spazzing out and stuff just get's you REALLY frustrated. tell her in like a really nice tone and say it waaaaaay more maturly though, so that she doesn't get mad at you or anything.
if you need any more advice just IM me!

Ah, the joys of learning to drive. Parents do have the habit of getting really uptight and intense when you're driving - they get sooo nervous that they tend to forget that you're likely nervous, too.
At the least, you should try to sit down with your mom and remind her that when you're out there driving, you're already nervous and trying hard to do your best. Indicate, in a calm and neutral manner, that her behaviour is adding to the stress you feel when behind the wheel and while you know she means well, it is making it harder for you to concentrate on your driving.
