It's kind of the same thing here. When she lived at home, her family only had one car, so there wasn't much point in getting a license. Then she lived in Boston through college and several years after, where the T takes you pretty much anywhere you need to go (plus she had me to drive her around).

It's getting to be more of a problem now the we live in the 'burbs and have small children. I end up having to take time out of work to chauffeur her around on errands she could easily do by herself. The problem now is, now that she's let it go for so long, it's become this huge obstacle in her mind. I keep chipping away, hopefully someday she'll break down and get it.
