Teenager drive time

Be still my heart. A mothers worry is neverending. And then your child says "Mom, I want a moped". GULP. In my heart, I want you to have one too, my luv. But todays world, is so chaotic, people talkin on cell phones, typing while they're driving, that I am so afraid to let you loose on one.

Buying him a moped, would much more simplify my life in terms of not having to drive back and forth to the school 6 times a day--but, I think it would cause much much worry. And here, I am gong to have to worry about this in abt 2 years anyway, when he turns 16. What is a mom to do? Let him go now? Let him learn the value of transportation? He's a mature kid for the most part, and very responsible. Its not like he would be riding on the main roads only back roads.

So he wonders why I've been putting off getting one. It was after all my excitement in the beginning. Originally, we wanted dirt bikes and atv's to ride on, since we are country people. And because theres a dirtbike place tha we can go to on weekends, and ride all day on 40 acres.

So here I sit, pondering, wondering, thinking, daily, what to do. I am lost. Your two cents would be valued. :)
