When you and your husband are both in the car to go out.....

Who usually gets behind the wheel? Do you drive sometimes or just let him do all the driving? Or does he just prefer to be the one driving?

he never, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever drives. uhm, ever. haha. he hates driving and sees it as more of a chore than just something that you do to get to work. recently, his car broke down and you wouldn't believe how happy he is and how much he's procrastinating on fixing it because now i have to drive him to/from work and i have to drive us everywhere we want/have to go. and honestly, i prefer driving. i mean, come on - "driver picks the music, shotgun shuts his cakehole" - i can listen to my music ( i can't stand his), speed all i want, be as reckless as i want...it's much more fun to be in control of the car. and if you want a practical reason to my desire to drive...i will get absolutely, direly car sick if i don't. it started with just sitting in the backseat, but now i can't even sit shotgun without getting queazy and ill, so unless he wants to pull over every 40 minutes or so, it's really just a better idea that i drive. does your man do all the driving, or do you prefer to be behind the wheel?

Well I drive sometimes when he feels tired. Also dealing with small kids many times I don't want to even bother to get behind the wheel :( The kids are strapped on the back seats and I can relax! LOL I also don't like to drive with him because he is too critical and makes me feel like a kid so I let the parent drive and the "kid" on the passenger side says "are we there yet?" :(

It's my husband who is behind the wheels all the times. I'm afraid of driving that's why I didn't bother to learn how to drive. When my husband is not around, I ask my daughter to do the driving.

If we have to go shopping, I'll almost always drive. He drives a pick up truck and with a toddler, their isn't much space for groceries and even us for that matter. But, if I don't feel like driving or if we are just going out to eat or to someone's house, he'll drive. I had a manual car from before we got together, and he hates driving it, so it's either me drive the car or him drive the pick up (which I refuse to drive). But, it's normally me. It gives us more space for the baby, more space for the groceries, and my car gets better gas mileage.
