We both enjoy driving. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-drives-on-road-trips#post-2370487 Thu, 26 Nov 2015 07:55:16 +0000 Cherrybee 2370487@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Always DH. He wont let me drive if he's in the car - he says being a passenger makes him nervous. Even if it's a long journey and he is clearly exhausted, he never takes me up on my offer to drive some of the way. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-drives-on-road-trips#post-2370484 Thu, 26 Nov 2015 07:51:15 +0000 Nutella 2370484@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Usually split for the longer drives. I don't mind driving because I can't often sleep in the passenger seat &amp; prefer driving to sitting in the front seat for hours! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-drives-on-road-trips#post-2370480 Thu, 26 Nov 2015 07:45:13 +0000 avivoca 2370480@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Usually T drives. I drove 10 hours to PA once, but usually he only relinquishes control of the wheel if he is feeling bad. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-drives-on-road-trips#post-2370476 Thu, 26 Nov 2015 07:27:00 +0000 lamariniere 2370476@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>In Europe, always DH. In the US, 80% DH, 20% me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-drives-on-road-trips#post-2370232 Wed, 25 Nov 2015 20:35:27 +0000 winniebee 2370232@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My husband really likes to drive. So unless he is post-call he drives. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-drives-on-road-trips#post-2370229 Wed, 25 Nov 2015 20:34:29 +0000 LilSprinkles 2370229@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Always DH. I hate driving, and I get usually get sick on trips. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-drives-on-road-trips#post-2370141 Wed, 25 Nov 2015 19:18:09 +0000 Keybee 2370141@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH mostly. Sometimes we take turns, but DH doesn't like my driving and I'd rather sleep anyway. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-drives-on-road-trips#post-2370109 Wed, 25 Nov 2015 18:42:59 +0000 Mrs. D 2370109@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: exactly the same for us. There is no license in my wallet </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-drives-on-road-trips#post-2370104 Wed, 25 Nov 2015 18:27:51 +0000 Canoli 2370104@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Always my husband. He likes it and I don't. I like to look on my phone or I'm on kid entertaining duty. He's a much better driver anyway. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-drives-on-road-trips#post-2370098 Wed, 25 Nov 2015 18:21:21 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2370098@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We take turns. This year DH will probably drive more, so I can sleep. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-drives-on-road-trips#post-2370096 Wed, 25 Nov 2015 18:16:33 +0000 Mrs. Train 2370096@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We split but he prefers to drive. He is not as good at handling the kids in the car; snacks complaints; fights. I take over when he is sleepy or needs a break. He is usually the most patient man I know but in the car the constant nagging drives him nuts. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-drives-on-road-trips#post-2370092 Wed, 25 Nov 2015 18:08:41 +0000 autumnlove 2370092@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Always DH. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-drives-on-road-trips#post-2370086 Wed, 25 Nov 2015 18:04:42 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 2370086@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's about 50/50. I might drive a TINY bit more, only because driving feels like a "break" for me since I don't have to be the one doling out snacks, giving pacifiers, handling the bickering, disciplining, turning on "princess music," etc..... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-drives-on-road-trips#post-2370048 Wed, 25 Nov 2015 17:38:35 +0000 Greentea 2370048@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH always drives. I used to drive SO much, so now I don't mind not doing it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-drives-on-road-trips#post-2370028 Wed, 25 Nov 2015 17:20:49 +0000 BSB 2370028@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>️DH starts off and I'll drive if he needs a break. He can drive much longer than I can. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-drives-on-road-trips#post-2369961 Wed, 25 Nov 2015 16:33:58 +0000 sapphire 2369961@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Almost always DH but we'll take turns on long trips. He still does the majority. I don't like driving that much </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-drives-on-road-trips#post-2369959 Wed, 25 Nov 2015 16:32:59 +0000 LuLu Mom 2369959@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Almost always DH, I'm not a fan of driving or at least driving in areas I'm not as familiar with </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-drives-on-road-trips#post-2369949 Wed, 25 Nov 2015 16:26:15 +0000 buttermilk 2369949@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We used to split it but now with the baby...I need to be able to soothe/entertain her in the backseat so it's all DH. He drove us 13 hours to TN yesterday! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-drives-on-road-trips#post-2369948 Wed, 25 Nov 2015 16:25:46 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 2369948@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Always DH. I offer but he never says yes. Unless he is coming off night shift and needs to sleep! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-drives-on-road-trips#post-2369945 Wed, 25 Nov 2015 16:23:58 +0000 lovehoneybee 2369945@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's like 75/25 him/me. I have the car all week and he commutes on his bike so he likes the chance to drive. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-drives-on-road-trips#post-2369937 Wed, 25 Nov 2015 16:15:00 +0000 Astro Bee 2369937@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH really likes driving. I'm meh about it. He puts on his podcasts, which I've warmed up to over the years. Still, I'd much rather listen to music. We have a deal, though, if the particular podcast is truly annoying me, we'll switch to satellite radio. I don't play that card very often. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-drives-on-road-trips#post-2369936 Wed, 25 Nov 2015 16:14:39 +0000 gingerbebe 2369936@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If its a long drive (as in over 4 hours) we will split but generally DH drives because (1) he says he gets carsick when he's the passenger and (2) I can keep DS company in the back. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-drives-on-road-trips#post-2369926 Wed, 25 Nov 2015 16:07:24 +0000 Dandelion 2369926@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Dh drives the highways, while I drive going in and out of the cities. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-drives-on-road-trips#post-2369920 Wed, 25 Nov 2015 16:01:11 +0000 mauxie 2369920@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH. I offer but he insists on driving. I'm not a bad driver, I swear! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-drives-on-road-trips#post-2360887 Wed, 25 Nov 2015 16:00:00 +0000 regberadaisy 2360887@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Do you? Your SO? Or do you take turns?</p> <p>DH always drive since I can't... :meh: </p>
