Under what circumstances do you take the car keys away from your Mom or Dad?

r/

I had to have a very real talk with my Mom recently about her no longer driving a car. She is 89 and soon to be 90, and her legs have grown weak. So, we discussed her ability to apply the car’s breaks when needed and she realized that accidents could happen or people could get hurt. I was happy.

    I made the doctor to be the bad guy with my Dad. His legs were gone and he no longer had the reflexes to step on the car breaks when needed. He was pissed at me for a long time. But, the doctor made him realize that he could hurt or potentially kill someone.
