A calm, “It’s alright. It’s no problem.”

Great response! This dad took total responsibility as the adult in this situation.

Although idk if I would have let my other child be in the car. So much could have gone a lot worse.

I swear, teaching my son to drive took five years off my life.

When I felt like we weren’t making progress, I handed him over to a paid driving instructor for three lessons. My kid ran the car up on the curb, and blew the tire out–that was his last paid lesson.

With me, he once got the SUV on two wheels around a turn, because he “forgot to brake”–he just cranked the wheel right at full speed. I needed two weeks to mentally recover from that before I’d take him out again.

It took me over a year to decide he was ready. That was five years ago. Thankfully, he’s had no accidents yet.

As dumb as the Dad was on this one, his reaction is the best reaction I’ve ever seen for something like this. He quite literally said “it’s okay” and his tone absolutely meant it (which is a key part as well), both him and his son were equally calm and that says so much about the health of their relationship.

I love my Dad to the world and back, but my gosh he would have flipped out.

Father had the healthiest reaction. I presume he’s got coverage for this situation, but my parents did and I would not have heard the end of it. The “it’s ok, we’ll figure it out” attitude is very healthy and teaches kids that accidents happen, we aim to avoid them but we can get through them. It also teaches kids they can trust their parents in time of crisis. Whereas berating your child creates complexes of inferiority and insecurity, “mistakes happen but you fucked up!” attitude. This kind of reaction teaches kids they can’t trust their parents in time of crisis for fear of their reaction which causes kids to hide in times of crisis which puts them at a higher risk of danger. This father has my respect.

Dads fault. Child in the backseat, not in an empty lot… for fucks sake my first driving lesson was entirely brake pedal and momentum based. Didnt even get to use the gas 😭

My dad slapped my face with outside of his hand because I stalled the car on a hill couple of times in a row. Now I’m looking back and thinking about it, what a shitty way to teach someone anything. This dad on the other hand, kudos to him.

Why the hell are they on the street they should be in a parking lot or an empty space I’ve never seen someone teach someone to drive like that in my life and the kid looks like he’s 10 years old by the way
