My son's friend

[rivermom]

Oh Mandy - I am so sorry about your son's friend. Thank goodness it wasn't worse, oh my goodness.

All 3 of my kids have gone through that "begginning" driver stage and it is frustrating/scary/nerve wracking, etc. It truly is enough to send a Mom over the edge. But....it's that part of their life just as we had gone through when we were their age.

Place that bottled up fear into an angel's hands and try to relax. Let your son experience the same as you did. You've been great sitting him down and explaining all the responsibilities that having a scooter has and that's important.

Wouldn't it be nice if we could wrap a plastic bubble around all those we love in hopes to protect from every danger out there? Let life's mishaps just bounce off them and never harm! In a perfect world I guess?

Anyway - try not to worry your heart too much. Before you know it he will give you something else to worry about, LOL (kidding)

It's just what we mother's do....worry till we're sick, totally amazing isn't it?

Tell Collin I am glad his scooter broke down, LOL (kidding) but that when he get's back on and riding to thank his lucky stars for everything around him and to be safe. He's lucky he's only got one Mom, LOL cuz I am sure their are plenty of Mom's who could sit him down along with you and give him that list of do's and don'ts. OMG wouldn't he freak? hahahahha

Hugs!!

I'm glad to hear that your son's friend wasn't hurt too awful badly. Your son will learn to be even more cautious now that he's seen what can happen. There are so many things out in this world that are dangerous for our children and so we just have to place them in God's hands. But Mom's always worry about their children. It's what we do best!!!!

Oh Mandy I know your pain. My son got his drivers license last January and I'm still a nervous wreck when he takes off. I wish here in the states they would raise the age to 18, but it would 'cramp' too many parents lives, I guess.

Hope your son's friend heals quickly and will always be careful and watchful of others.

Aww Mandy, I'm so sorry about your son's friend. I'm glad he wasn't hurt badly though.

It must be such a scary time for mothers when their children start driving. I remember how scared my mom was because her brother was killed in an automobile accident. It was difficult to convince her to let me drive, but she did because she knew I would need to learn at some point...

We have friends with scooters here, too, but the traffic is so heavy I don't want our son to get one. They just aren't as expected I think. I am glad your son's friend survived - hope he is a quick healer. I am also glad that your son's scooter broke down at home and not on some main road while in transit - phew! Hang in there, Mom!

Thanks girls ~ i now remember what my mom told me years ago "small children, small problems - big children, big problems" .... a lot of those "reminders" from way back, are coming back to me now.

Hey Sheryl, thanks for the reminder!! LOL >>>> Anyway - try not to worry your heart too much. Before you know it he will give you something else to worry about, LOL (kidding)

Mandy I know what you are going through my son 18 has just passed last week his driveing test it took him 4 attemps, ashamed to say each time he failed I was glad but you mum's will understand that. He has been given a car but when he goes out I give him a list of do's and dont's and he smile's and say's yes mum and I can only hope he takes heed. But I cannot relax untill he is home safe and if out at night like this evening I will not be able to sleep untill he is home, hubby on the other hand is able to snore through all my worrying.
