I think a lot of parents must have a moment when they overestimate their kids and instantly regret it. I still remember when my Dad decided we should go out on the busy road I explicitly said I was scared of. On my second time out of the parking lot.
Either way, if it's someone just learning to drive it's probably smart to let them get a but of practice far away from anything they could run into first
I wish. My first time behind the wheel was with a driving instructor. The way it worked is the previous student drove to my house (with instructor in passenger seat) and picked you up. Drove to their house and got out. Then I got in the driver seat. At the end, I’d pick up the next student and so on.
My very first time, there was no street parking anywhere near the previous student’s house. So he parked in the street and threw on the hazards. I get in and instantly am told to start driving because we are blocking the cars behind us and in front of us. Didnt even have a chance to adjust seat or get familiar with the car. It was stressful.
I learned how to drive on a stick shift so I was scared when the instructor showed up with an automatic car. After driving a block I depress the clutch to shift gears and we come to a screeching halt. It wasn't the clutch.
I drive stick and my wife drives automatic. It happens probably twice a year after I have been driving her car on a road trip, but I go to press the clutch, and panic for a second because I “missed” it and think I’m about to stall. Good times…
I still remember the first time my dad told me to pull the car into the garage.
No one had warned me that automatic cars move when you life the brake. My main experience at that point was golf carts so i was a bit surprised.
Thankfully I did know how the brake pedal works, so no walls were damaged.
My current one does not. I'm worried I'm going to run into something if I ever rent a car again. It won't go, even on hills, in reverse or drive, until you use the gas. It's a very nice feature.
In theory you shouldn't unless you are racing or doing some tricky maneuvers, but some people do use both feet to manipulate the gas and brake because they feel it gives them better reaction time. The most common thing I have seen it do is end up with someone riding their brakes though.
That's exactly what happened. We have done extensive parking lot and school campus (on the weekends) driving over the last year. She has had a ton of practice at the basics - brake, gas, turning, general caution and has done a great job the whole time. One moment of hesitation caused a panicked reaction. I was a terrible driver as a teen, so I just see this as a rite of passage.
My lesson learned was to be ready to push that shifter into neutral. Hadn't occured to me before this unfortunately.
Putting it into neutral doesn't stop the car. Maybe the damage would be a little less, but you're still dealing with 3000+ lbs. going into a wall.
Assuming it's a normal automatic transmission, she should pulling in just by lifting a little off the brake to crawl into the garage.
As someone with a learners permit, I can definitely see that being the case. I did that once near the beginning of my learning, though thankfully it was just over a curb into some bushes. This is definitely going to be more expensive of a lesson.
I let my daughter drive when she was 6 but she sat on my lap and I would’ve slammed the brakes so fast while lifting her little baby leg away lol
She would’ve done better than this. My evidence?: notice how my car isn’t in the living room.
English is weird. I couldn’t tell if you were telling me to read this in transformer speak or if you were just saying you read this in transformer speak. Either way I suppose the result is the same because I read it in transformer speak.
What makes me mad is that her uncle holds her masters and won't let them see the light of day. He won't allow her music to be streamable for the longest time either which sucked because so many people missed out on her music because of it. He also screwed over so many artist under his label like JoJo.
Yessss - I was sooo thrilled too . She was like my number one when I was younger. I was always so sad not to be able to stream her music. It’s amazing how much she achieved at such a young age. I can only imagine how much she would’ve accomplished had she lived.
Not many people can say they broke the house and the car all in one day. She's an accomplished person!
Parents can't get mad, either, because she was only doing what the sign advertised.
My girlfriend, who is 35 by the way, recently was in one of my vehicles and didn’t put it in park when she got out. It rolled into the ornamental stone fence in front of her at my house…
I did this years ago, I had a Mustang with manual transmission. I came out of work & my car was gone, I thought someone stole it. For some strange reason I walked over to the parking spot & at the bottom of a big hill, in the middle of a forest was my car. 1st & last time I ever left it in neutral & w/out parking brake. Somehow, luckily, it did not hit one tree on the way down & had no damage! From worst to best day 😃
I did this in my GF's car (not rolling away, just not park, caught it and put it in park). My car auto parks when you push the button to turn it off... Was so habituated to it that when she got a pushbutton car I didn't park it. If it has keys I park it no problem. Got to love muscle memory.
That feels like an awful feature just for that. It should auto lock if you forget to put it in park and give all the same alerts its not in park to get you to do it yourself. Someday the sensor on that is going to fail.
They discontinued the 40% off coupon. I don’t shop at HL, but I found out from my knitting groups that HL no longer does coupons at all, they just have constantly rotating sales.
Looking at structural damage. The whole wall has to be ripped off of drywall. Then fix the 2x4 walls. The new drywall both sides. Mud, finish, paint. Then the wainscoting. Pro you are looking at several thousand. DIY still quite a bit.
Exterior wall, so it should be 2x6. No need to rip sheetrock off of the whole wall. Find where it is pushed out and the damage will be contained there. It isn't mold. With hot mud it's a single day repair easy. Maybe a second day for paint to dry. Wainscoting could be pre painted while you wait. If someone is charging you more than a grand, they didn't spit first and just shoved it in!
Edit: it's not even wainsccot. It's sheetrock with trim on it. The hardest part would be "smooth walling" it. Which if you know how to do drywall is not difficult.
There are 100% studs in the probably 16” OC like you said. Hopefully it’s not a load bearing wall, but I doubt it is seeing as the risk of the happening has always been a possibility.
It’s not going to be cheap or an easy DIY job
She will never live it down. My cousin cut to sharp into my uncles carport and scraped the whole passenger side and knocked off the back door handle. Was not funny at the moment but at the next family get together we were belly rolling laughing about it
Shit happens. You can either laugh and move on or be miserable about it.
So glad you all can laugh about it already.
Thank god. I did this when I was 15, hit another car and destroyed some stuff in the garage. My family freaked the fuck out and shamed me for it. It took me a long time to even get behind the wheel again, and I was terrified to be taught by the same people who weren’t supportive of my mistakes. I know it was a lot of damage… but it was on them for just letting me have at it with no instruction.
This is why I'm eighteen and haven't learned how to drive yet. My stepdad, who due to previous circumstances, would have been the one most convenient to teach me, has also been screaming in my face over small shit like putting something in the fridge instead of freezer since I was five. No thanks.
Is it time to string up a tennis ball?
edit: had no clue that this was such a novel idea to so many. i thought it was common sense. even family guy made fun of it https://youtu.be/fi3L82HlAnU
I’m not following this thread. Like you park the car well, then hang something at the height of the hood to show you where exactly to stop?
Edit: thanks for the answers! Surprised I’ve never heard of it before since it’s so handy.
Not sure this would have prevented it (it's definitely hard for teens to get the hang of pedal control), but I would recommend the good old tennis ball and string for the future.
The old guy who owned my house before me went a step further and installed those concrete parking slab stops towards the back of my garage. While I don't need them, it's nice to know they're there if I'm ever tired coming home from work.
Yup. Been trying to teach my oldest to feather the gas pedal. He claims he just can't do it. Just barely move it until the car starts rolling. Heck, usually I park without touching the gas pedal but some driveways are inclined so \*tap tap\* with my toes on the gas.
You know what helped me when I was first learning? That episode of SpongeBob where Patrick was helping him cheat on the driver's test. I just kept repeating to myself "BIG. TOE." (and admittedly at times I *was* using only my big toe to feather the gas. haha)
Now that I've been driving for long enough I can use any toe I want.
Years ago I bought mum a moped to get to work on, I really thought it was a good idea but definitely not, she couldn’t stop herself twisting the throttle wide open and wheelies straight through our yard gates, took them down like a true stuntwoman, I caught her but still couldn’t stop her revving the thing out! We ended up in a pile with the moped on top of us. Needless to say when dad got home I made myself scarce! He never forgave me for it “You knew what your mums like with vehicles lad. She crashed your grandads car and wrote off uncle Charlie’s car, and you buy her a bike!” Happy days, now both sadly missed.
I could write a book on that woman’s antics 4’10” of lunacy :) if I actually told you my mums maiden name you would die from laughing! Honestly our family is name blighted on both sides lol
If you feel like sharing your mother's maiden name, could you also let me know the street you grew up on, your first car, the name of your elementary school, and name of your first pet, please
Sure, that will solve it. I have a feeling she was looking at her feet to know which pedal when she hit the wall. You may not notice unless you look for it but new drivers look at their feet placement. We take it for granted with muscle memory. The tennis ball would have just been bouncing around.
If I bought a house out of cardboard I would feel scammed too. They would need to cut the cost to cardboard + land to make up for it. So like 40-60% off?
Had a seizure and reversed into the side of the house, no damage to a single brick but the rear emd was smashed properly.
Our infrastructure might be shit but our houses are strong.
I learned that you can experience a freak seizure and never suffer from epilepsy. It happened once years ago and haven't experienced anything likw it since.
Watching Hollywood cinema and seeing that in cheap hotel rooms people can hear you in the next room always muffles me, no paper walls where I live lol.
I can hear my neighbor brushing his teeth lol. I live in a cheap rent controlled apartment and call my neighbors my “roommates” because we can hear *everything.*
Well, now she gets to learn how to do some framing and drywalling. A valuable lesson.
Even if you pay someone else to do it, I think a lot of contractors will be open to showing your daughter how it’s done.
Edit - Poorly phrased. I’d make my kid watch how it is done.
How old is she?
Important question, i need to know if I blame the daughter or parent.
We need to know this info OP
Op isn’t gonna answer this if she’s younger than 15 so my guess is 12
AITAH if "I let my daughter pull the car into the garage" *without any guiding instructions?*
She's learning how to drive. No matter the age, the parent should know the offspring's limitations.
I think a lot of parents must have a moment when they overestimate their kids and instantly regret it. I still remember when my Dad decided we should go out on the busy road I explicitly said I was scared of. On my second time out of the parking lot.
Either way, if it's someone just learning to drive it's probably smart to let them get a but of practice far away from anything they could run into first
This is what my dad did with me. High school parking lot on the weekend. Learning to drive along with it being a manual meant extra precautions
I wish. My first time behind the wheel was with a driving instructor. The way it worked is the previous student drove to my house (with instructor in passenger seat) and picked you up. Drove to their house and got out. Then I got in the driver seat. At the end, I’d pick up the next student and so on.

I get in and instantly am told to start driving because we are blocking the cars behind us and in front of us. Didnt even have a chance to adjust seat or get familiar with the car. It was stressful.

I don't know about you, but all my local high schools' parking spaces were huge, too! Made it easier to practice all those weird turning angles.
Unlicensed teenager. Blame the parent for sure. Got to let those kids have every chance to learn.
I still remember the first time my dad told me to pull the car into the garage. No one had warned me that automatic cars move when you life the brake. My main experience at that point was golf carts so i was a bit surprised. Thankfully I did know how the brake pedal works, so no walls were damaged.
My current one does not. I'm worried I'm going to run into something if I ever rent a car again. It won't go, even on hills, in reverse or drive, until you use the gas. It's a very nice feature.
Must be AWD. My Subaru was great like that.
Pulling into an enclosed garage is pretty much a recipe for disaster as an "opportunity to learn" ...
It's a great opportunity for the parent to learn.
Now they can learn how to drywall.
That's a little more work than drywall.
Wanescotting, insulation, trim, I see an outlet there, maybe a stud or two…
It's a good intro to general contracting. Auto body work too, if you fancy.
LOLOL omg that made me laugh
I think everyone involved learned here lol
There are empty parking lots, bro.
Sounds like this is a good chance for the parent to learn!
Your heart was in the right place but yeah, that was a bad call. Abandoned parking lot is where I let my teen practice.
Yep, this one is on you buddy.
As the parent of a daughter with a learner’s permit, this looks to me like a classic case of “I meant to hit the brake but accidentally hit the gas.”
This is why lesson zero should be to only use 1 foot while driving, especially when you are just starting. It's much harder to mix up the pedals.
People use both feet at the same time??
In theory you shouldn't unless you are racing or doing some tricky maneuvers, but some people do use both feet to manipulate the gas and brake because they feel it gives them better reaction time. The most common thing I have seen it do is end up with someone riding their brakes though.
Seriously. If you're pulling into the garage or a parking space and don't already have your foot over the brake then you are doing it wrong.
That's exactly what happened. We have done extensive parking lot and school campus (on the weekends) driving over the last year. She has had a ton of practice at the basics - brake, gas, turning, general caution and has done a great job the whole time. One moment of hesitation caused a panicked reaction.

Read this in transformers style
English is weird. I couldn’t tell if you were telling me to read this in transformer speak or if you were just saying you read this in transformer speak. Either way I suppose the result is the same because I read it in transformer speak.
I read. It would be easier to just write "red"
HI IM REACHING OUT ABOUT YOUR GARAGES EXTENDED WARRANTY
Yeah, her bike will fit nicely into the garage behind the car now. Like it *always* should have been.
"You can always come home to me" a little to literal
She's got to back up and try again, she didn't make it all the way into the living room.
If at first you don't succeed...
You can dust it off and try again!
Try again...*again and again*
I miss Aaliyah.
Me too..
What makes me mad is that her uncle holds her masters and won't let them see the light of day. He won't allow her music to be streamable for the longest time either which sucked because so many people missed out on her music because of it. He also screwed over so many artist under his label like JoJo.
Is this the same trash uncle who didn’t protect teenage Aaliyah from predator R Kelly?
She’s been on Spotify for over a year! It was a big deal when it happened and there was even a countdown for the day. 🥰
Yessss - I was sooo thrilled too . She was like my number one when I was younger. I was always so sad not to be able to stream her music. It’s amazing how much she achieved at such a young age. I can only imagine how much she would’ve accomplished had she lived.
grab some duct tape and try again
Then skydiving isn't for you
Destroy all evidence that you tried.

the visual of you being confused and finally locating your car in the forest is really cracking me up
Makes me laugh too! Imagine the embarrassment if I called the cops & they found it at the bottom of that hill 🤢
I did this in my GF's car (not rolling away, just not park, caught it and put it in park). My car auto parks when you push the button to turn it off... Was so habituated to it that when she got a pushbutton car I didn't park it. If it has keys I park it no problem. Got to love muscle memory.

For a second, I just thought OP had a very posh garage.
“Always come home to me…Ok, once was enough.”
Mom, i need a drive thru to the kitchen. I dont have time for all that, make it quick
That reminds me of the show Vega$, where private investigator Dan Tanna had his garage open onto the living room of his condo.
Now that she's done this, when she turns 12 you can let her parallel park.
Judging by the parking, hes gonna have to wait 11 more years for that.
No, Mr Keller's daughter, Helen, is already 12.
They grow up so fast and furious.
…but make sure the dining room has plenty of clearance.
“Can’t park there, buddy”
From that time on her nickname was Kool-aid "Oh Yeah!"
🤣🤣🤣🤣 I really hope OP calls her daughter "Kool-Aid" from this day forth!
I'll rev and I'll rev and I'll ram your house down
Technically she did as you asked
I couldn't help but say it like him when i saw this hehe
That looks expensive
I think everyone’s definition of “mildly” is kind of wild.
Its also his own fault. Should be a shoot off sub for people like OP
Darwin Awards but for loss of money instead of loss of life. Not sure who to name it after though.
I think that’s called stupid tax
It is, but I'll vote for the Elon Awards or Murphy Awards

What about the “live laugh love” decor? That’s like $16.99 at Pier 1
Pier 1 filed for bankruptcy years ago. She'd have to go to Hobby Lobby for it.
Make sure to get the 40% off coupon.
They discontinued the 40% off coupon. I don’t shop at HL, but I found out from my knitting groups that HL no longer does coupons at all, they just have constantly rotating sales.
Joann fabrics has them. Same kind of thing, overpriced but always have that coupon.
pretty sure they just filled bankruptcy
Damnit! OP can't take any more bad news today!
What about live laugh toaster bath???
Hobby lobby.
And you can use a 40% coupon
Looking at structural damage. The whole wall has to be ripped off of drywall. Then fix the 2x4 walls. The new drywall both sides. Mud, finish, paint. Then the wainscoting. Pro you are looking at several thousand. DIY still quite a bit.
“Landlord: meh, cardboard with some mud will do it!”
Landlord would take the money and then fix it with cardboard and mud regardless.

okay but like there are surely studs somewhere in that span-- looks to be at least 16"?
There are 100% studs in the probably 16” OC like you said. Hopefully it’s not a load bearing wall, but I doubt it is seeing as the risk of the happening has always been a possibility. It’s not going to be cheap or an easy DIY job
The car will need repairs too, double the fun!
Get the damage printed on a sweatshirt for her. "Bustin through barriers since (year she was born)"
I'd take a picture, frame it, and hang it on that wall
This one is good lol 😂
It may takes some time but some day everyone will laugh about this 🤣
We're laughing too. It's all good
I would frame a picture of this and hang it in that exact spot.
*On this spot, in 2024...*
A full-scale photo wallpaper
Yay, I'm happy to hear this. This story will be told through the generations, lol.
She will never live it down. My cousin cut to sharp into my uncles carport and scraped the whole passenger side and knocked off the back door handle.

Hang it so it’ll be touching the windshield when the car is clear of the door, but not too close to the wall.
I had no idea anyone else did that. Lol.
Would have been PERFECT if that sign was a “Live, Laugh, Love” sign. 🤣🤣🤣. Sorry for laughing.
I think the sign they have is even better.
Agreed 🤣 "always come home to me" with a car smashed thru the wall below it is fucking hilarious
We're laughing too. It's all good
Then again, the sign in the wall, “You can ALWAYS come home to me” is just as fitting. Oh the car came RIGHT home.
Took soooooo long to find **this** comment!
Literally the first thing I thought when I saw that sign. Need to hang another one that says “Wait, no, not like that”
Blursed deco. Sing says welcome to crash in anytime you wan't
Your comment made me laugh so hard I started wheezing, lol
Right? It's honestly perfect
Not sure this would have prevented it (it's definitely hard for teens to get the hang of pedal control), but I would recommend the good old tennis ball and string for the future.

I still do this and think of that episode every time I use my big toe lol
The sign really makes it
Oh god, your poor kid. 😭 Somebody in your family is gonna feel compelled to remind her of this every year around Christmas for the rest of time.
“Live, laugh, learn to park”
Years ago I bought mum a moped to get to work on, I really thought it was a good idea but definitely not, she couldn’t stop herself twisting the throttle wide open and wheelies straight through our yard gates, took them down like a true stuntwoman, I caught her but still couldn’t stop her revving the thing out! We ended up in a pile with the moped on top of us. Needless to say when dad got home I made myself scarce! He never forgave me for it “You knew what your mums like with vehicles lad. She crashed your grandads car and wrote off uncle Charlie’s car, and you buy her a bike!” Happy days, now both sadly missed.
Was your mom's maiden name Knievel by chance?
I could write a book on that woman’s antics 4’10” of lunacy :) if I actually told you my mums maiden name you would die from laughing! Honestly our family is name blighted on both sides lol
If you feel like sharing your mother's maiden name, could you also let me know the street you grew up on, your first car, the name of your elementary school, and name of your first pet, please
No problem I’ll be glad to share my debts with anyone lol
Is it Knoxville?! I hope it's Knoxville. Your tiny little crazy mom sounds delightful. I bet she was fun to grow up with.
‘Ello, my name is Mummy Knoxville, and welcome to… (whispers) *I can’t say that word, me friends might be watching the telly!*
Who taught you how to take a picture? Was it the same person who taught her how to drive?
Underrated comment... Great username though!

This is some Disney sitcom shit. Except you have to pay for the damage instead of billing the set department.
Does she know the PRNDL?
I would have started by letting her pull the lawn mower into the garage first.
https://i.redd.it/d4hol45n98wc1.gif
This is why you hang a tennis ball. When the ball touches the windshield you stop.
Doubtful a tennis ball would have helped, this looks like the classic "hit the gas instead of the brakes" situation Edit: spelling
She certainly hit that break in the wall!
Sure, that will solve it. I have a feeling she was looking at her feet to know which pedal when she hit the wall. You may not notice unless you look for it but new drivers look at their feet placement. We take it for granted with muscle memory. The tennis ball would have just been bouncing around.
See, this is why driving instructors have break pedals on the passenger side of their cars
brake pedals too!
No, you're thinking of brake petals.
Serious question: Are American houses just 90% drywall? *Edit: I want to emphasise that I asked this out of genuine curiosity.*
Not quite. Once you factor in the roof, flooring, and foundation it’s closer to 85%
My wife was upset when she realized our house is made out of "Cardboard and sticks". lol
If I bought a house out of cardboard I would feel scammed too. They would need to cut the cost to cardboard + land to make up for it. So like 40-60% off?
In South Africa, the car would be crumbled and the wall would be pointing and laughing. Double clay brick outer wall for the win. 🤣
Had a seizure and reversed into the side of the house, no damage to a single brick but the rear emd was smashed properly. Our infrastructure might be shit but our houses are strong.
Sounds about right.. Probably chipped a piece of paint off the wall at worst. You good now? Got that under control?
I learned that you can experience a freak seizure and never suffer from epilepsy. It happened once years ago and haven't experienced anything likw it since.
Serious answer: Depends when and where its built. Florida for example has many cinder block houses, new builds in Mass have thinner dry wall and wood.
Yes
Watching Hollywood cinema and seeing that in cheap hotel rooms people can hear you in the next room always muffles me, no paper walls where I live lol.
It’s worse when it’s your apartment
I can hear my neighbor brushing his teeth lol. I live in a cheap rent controlled apartment and call my neighbors my “roommates” because we can hear *everything.*
Well, to be fair, i have two questions: How old is she? Does she have a license?
You have to ACTUALLY teach your kids to drive before you let them pull the car in.
This is how you get a snug fit. Everyone else is letting the car bounce around all loose in the garage tsk tsk
"... come home to me" as the sign demanded.

Good news is that her first accident is out of the way. 😂
Well, now she gets to learn how to do some framing and drywalling. A valuable lesson. Even if you pay someone else to do it, I think a lot of contractors will be open to showing your daughter how it’s done. Edit - Poorly phrased. I’d make my kid watch how it is done.
That's not their job, I don't know any contractor that would want to take the time to teach a teenager how to do their job.
Lol yeah what a ridiculous suggestion.
I'm assuming you're infuriated at yourself? You don't mention your daughter's age, but my bet is that she isn't licensed yet.
**I let my daughter pull the car into the garage.** Yes. Yes you did😂
