So my 21st birthday is on the way and I still don't have a licence...to kill,or to drive around.
Honestly I don't really want one, but my dad thinks it'd be a good idea to pay for the lessons for my birthday.
I got really stressed out about it the other day and started crying , said that I didn't want anything for my birthday I just wanted to move out and be alone.
My dad obviously got upset and started asking if he'd done anything wrong why was I saying this all of the sudden.
Iv'e always said since I was little that I wanted to live with my dad forever and take care of him when he gets old.
I said I din't want to learn how to drive,because I'm terrified and I live on an island. anywhere I want or need to go, I can get the bus.
He said Ok then, think of something you do want.
I said a puppy, only because I've wanted one since forever and I've asked for one every chance I get.
Every time It's the same answer so really I just said puppy expecting a ''I've told you before no means no'' kind of answer
BUT
Instead of hearing his same answer he said ''we'll look at shelters soon, make sure you watch videos on how to train a dog properly''
I'm so excited!
I haven't decided yet and we haven't looked at any, but I want you guys to help me decide.Yes, I know the adult thing to do would be to chose driving lessons.
What would you chose puppy or driving lessons?
Take the drivers licence. My dad wanted me to take it when I was 18 but I put it of for years and then I moved away to study and now I still haven't taken it. And now I really wish I had one.
ReplyDeleteI live in NYC and Im 24 and I don't even have my permit. Even though I don't feel like I need a car, I still wish I had the guts to get it but I'm nervous about all that power behind the wheel. So I totally understand.
ReplyDeleteYou started crying because your dad wants to buy you driving lessons? Are you kidding me? Buy your own driving lessons.
ReplyDeleteYes I did, I know I sound really childish crying about something somebody is offering me,and I was planning on paying for them myself and my dad surprised me with offering it as a birthday present. I suffer with panic attacks so the only thing I can put it down to is it was a panic attack from feeling pressured into it. I am grateful though and I appreciate you sharing your opinion Thank you.
DeleteI would have chosen a drivers licence, but thats only because I was desperate to drive and needed to in terms of work.
ReplyDeleteIf you really arent fussed about driving, the puppy will obviously make you so much happier! xx
