Even around town he does most of the day to day driving. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/driving-duty-during-long-road-trips#post-2134172 Mon, 06 Apr 2015 13:56:59 +0000 MrsBrewer 2134172@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH always drives.

Usually I pick which bits I want to drive and DH takes the rest! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/driving-duty-during-long-road-trips#post-2133937 Mon, 06 Apr 2015 11:35:15 +0000 BoogieBea 2133937@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We alternate but I prefer to be the driver. My husband gets cranky with other drivers On the road often. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/driving-duty-during-long-road-trips#post-2133927 Mon, 06 Apr 2015 11:32:14 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2133927@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I drive mostly. Roadtrips are not enjoyable. :sad: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/driving-duty-during-long-road-trips#post-2133906 Mon, 06 Apr 2015 11:24:19 +0000 oliviaoblivia 2133906@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We alternate.<br /> On around the around the town stuff, DH usually drives. We have one car and he uses it for work so he's just used to getting in the driver seat. I don't mind being a passenger. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/driving-duty-during-long-road-trips#post-2133892 Mon, 06 Apr 2015 11:16:29 +0000 chopsuey 2133892@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I hve no problem driving long distances, but when we road trip with the kids, DH usually drives. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/driving-duty-during-long-road-trips#post-2133889 Mon, 06 Apr 2015 11:14:06 +0000 KT326 2133889@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a rule in our car, whoever drives gets to choose the music. Since I listen to music DH doesn't like he usually drives. Which is fine with me, I can always fall asleep in the car! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/driving-duty-during-long-road-trips#post-2133865 Mon, 06 Apr 2015 10:55:47 +0000 bunnylove08 2133865@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH does the driving. We will also be taking a road trip with our friends and the husbands will be driving while DD, my friend's wife and I will be passed out in the back LOL </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/driving-duty-during-long-road-trips#post-2133818 Mon, 06 Apr 2015 10:19:47 +0000 Mrs. Train 2133818@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My husband drives until he gets tired and then I take over. I don't go over speed limits and it drives him crazy so he prefers to drive. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/driving-duty-during-long-road-trips#post-2133814 Mon, 06 Apr 2015 10:13:29 +0000 Modern Daisy 2133814@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I usually insist on driving because DH is the neediest driver ever! He needs food, drink, napkin, headphones, adjust the temp/radio, send a text (on his behalf), massage his neck/arm. He gets really annoyed when i try to close my eyes or use my phone! Driving is the only way i get a break. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/driving-duty-during-long-road-trips#post-2133779 Mon, 06 Apr 2015 09:38:09 +0000 Bea 2133779@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We've always taken turns. And if I ever get car sick then I prefer to drive. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/driving-duty-during-long-road-trips#post-2133773 Mon, 06 Apr 2015 09:34:59 +0000 jhd 2133773@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH &amp; I take turns. I get carsick more easily after having LO so it helps if I can drive. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/driving-duty-during-long-road-trips#post-2133771 Mon, 06 Apr 2015 09:32:59 +0000 Miss Sarah 2133771@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: We're in the car starting our road trip right now! We're with the in-laws and we all intend to take turns driving today since it's a ten hour drive. When it's just DH and I, we always take turns. :grin: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/driving-duty-during-long-road-trips#post-2133765 Mon, 06 Apr 2015 09:27:32 +0000 twodoghouse 2133765@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH usually does all of the driving. Driving stresses me out (especially with the kids in the car), so I prefer him to drive. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/driving-duty-during-long-road-trips#post-2133763 Mon, 06 Apr 2015 09:25:53 +0000 lady baltimore 2133763@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Dh pretty much always drives. If he drives, I'll get lots of things done, whereas if he's the passenger, he gets really restless and futzes with the radio/air control panel endlessly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/driving-duty-during-long-road-trips#post-2133761 Mon, 06 Apr 2015 09:23:13 +0000 birdofafeather 2133761@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mostly DH, but I usually take a long stretch too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/driving-duty-during-long-road-trips#post-2133749 Mon, 06 Apr 2015 09:14:45 +0000 Mrs. Lion 2133749@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH drove our entire trip this weekend...13 hours each way! I don't mind driving but DH usually wants to so I let him :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/driving-duty-during-long-road-trips#post-2133747 Mon, 06 Apr 2015 09:12:46 +0000 MenagerieMama 2133747@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH always drives. I hate driving and now he doesn't fit in the passenger side with the carseat behind it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/driving-duty-during-long-road-trips#post-2133732 Mon, 06 Apr 2015 09:01:57 +0000 lawbee11 2133732@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH almost always drives. I don't really like driving and he doesn't mind it. Also, our LO is RF and her car seat is on the passenger side, so he has more leg room if he drives. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/driving-duty-during-long-road-trips#post-2133720 Mon, 06 Apr 2015 08:57:31 +0000 prettylizy 2133720@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH much prefers to drive and I'm happy to let him. He's also a very good driver (not that I'm bad, I'd say I'm average). I'm not willing to push speed limits as far as he is either :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/driving-duty-during-long-road-trips#post-2133718 Mon, 06 Apr 2015 08:57:04 +0000 mediagirl 2133718@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My husband does. He doesn't love it but he also can't squeeze comfortably into the passenger seat with the carseat behind it. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/driving-duty-during-long-road-trips#post-2133715 Mon, 06 Apr 2015 08:54:46 +0000 NCSUchick27 2133715@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH almost always drives. He loves to drive, and I hate it. I will only drive if he gets too tired. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/driving-duty-during-long-road-trips#post-2133711 Mon, 06 Apr 2015 08:52:12 +0000 WinterBee 2133711@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: Both my DH and I enjoy driving and are used to driving for long periods of time. Typically when we go for a longer road trip DH ends up driving because he gets restless as a passenger. But around town or shorter day trips I'll drive. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/driving-duty-during-long-road-trips#post-2133707 Mon, 06 Apr 2015 08:50:27 +0000 mrbee 2133707@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're going on a road trip on Thursday with another family, and I will probably drive (just because there will be so many passengers, and we'll be driving a van). Usually though, Bee drives because she loves to drive.</p> <p>I don't enjoy driving - problem is, if I'm not driving then I invariably pass out in cars. So at least this way, I'll be awake during the trip!</p> <p>Who tends to drive the car during trips? </p>
