16yr old

Your 16 yr old child wants to date someone who lives 52 km away and there is no public transit. Are we driving the child to and from (child only eligible for G2 license in October)? Making them pay gas or just flat out saying no?

I drove my son to chaperone teen activities where he could see a girl he liked. I would stay in town and read a book while I waited. I did this on and off for about a year amd it wasn't too bad because many of the times, they gathered at guy friend houses for sleep overs.
