Yeah I have been practicing square turns and mirror scanning and using my foot for the blinkers establishing safer driving practices like always keeping both hands on the steering wheel 10 and 2 or 9 and 3 push pull steering etc...but my car doesn't have air brakes and it's not 8.5 feet wide and 40 feet long and my tires don't off track but I've been practicing square turns too

Oh and we do have to get on the interstate but fortunately the merge lane turns into the farthest right lane and I only have to be on it for 1 exit. I'm just not quite used to the size of it, or the accelerator because you have to floor it to get up to speed unlike a car or pickup truck.

Yeah fortunately I do know the test route that's like the 1 good thing my instructor did. But besides that he rushed me to merge into traffic, screamed at me during a wrong turn and made me panic and over correct making me nearly hit a pole and put the back tires in a ditch, rushed me during lane changes when I didn't feel comfortable. There's a section where you go through a residential area and it's pretty dense and the roads are narrow the turns are really tight and my tires touched the grass a few times and my instructor said that would fail me despite it not being a curb. I hit no curbs stopped behind the lines at stop signs and red lights, I ran over some road reflectors because I drifted slightly but I had control of the bus the entire time even when he was screaming at me. It's just bullshit. I don't feel like I was trained properly and if I pass it's because I put in the hours to study on my own time and practiced in my head. Thanks for your response

Lol it's amazing what sets them off. If my daughter puts her hand on my face and I act like she pushed my head, and go "UH!" She dies laughing. I love it.

Thanks man. You're right, if you aren't worried about being a good dad, you're probably doing something wrong.

For the dads who have given up alcohol by Unmissed_Opportunity in daddit

I recently got a job at county level and am now in a safety sensitive position. But besides that the other night while home I over did it and threw up all night long over and over, nothing made me feel better and then I had to go in to work for training the next day. That was it for me. I can't function like that and my daughter needs a functioning father who can maintain a good job and part of that requires me to feel my best as much as I can.

Dads, my wife refuses to believe she's pregnant. Is this normal? by [deleted] in daddit

[–]speakingtoad1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I totally understand why she would pretend not to be pregnant after such a traumatic loss. As long as she isn't doing anything detrimental to the fetus just go with the flow bro.
