DEAR ABBY: Our son has
reached the age when he can
legally drive a car, but
neither my husband nor I
has been able to teach him.
My husband has tried several
times, but he comes back so
aggravated and overheated I
worry about his heart and
blood pressure. He has pa
tience with everyone else but
his own son. I have also tried
to teach the boy, but I am
worse than my husband. I
get nervous and can't keep
quiet. I warn him about every
stop sign, every curve in the
road, and when I see another
car I get panicky.
We can't afford those driv-

safe to let him learn from
his friends?
