    I remember my dad telling me it was illegal and me believing it until I was into my 20s. Lol.

    @wiseh WHAAAAT? Apparently I'm believing it into my 30's. Pausing to google. It's legal in my state... I've been duped.

    @wiseh is this something all dads are mandated to do by the DMV? Mine told me the same thing 😂

    I had a friend who had the right sneaker in her car because she wasn't allowed to drive with flip flops on. She's got in her car took off her sandal and then put on the one sneaker. The only shoe I was told I wasn't allowed to wear while driving was a ski boot, and that makes a lot of sense because you can't feel the pedals.

    Lol my high school boyfriend was made to learn to drive barefoot because his feet weren’t very sensitive and he couldn’t tell how hard he was pushing the clutch AND/OR accelerator. Very few cars in Sweden are automatic, so it’s kinda key that you can tell.
    I, on the other hand, can drive in anything. Rubber boots, Doc Martens, sneakers, slippers… doesn’t matter to me. I can tell based on the pressure in my calves and ankles if I have to.

    Unpopular opinion: Americans need to stop being such damn prudes about human bodies. Change in front of your kids, show them that bodies are NORMAL and HEALTHY and not something to be afraid of. Like maybe don’t walk around naked, but in your underwear is fine (boring undies, not sexy undies). I’m Swedish and born in 1988. I’ve seen more full frontal nudity in movies and TV shows from NORMAL HUMAN BODIES than I care to recount, we showered in school after PE every day in every grade, and people look however they damn please to look. 
    My parents were functionally nudist at home until I turned 14-16 somewhere and demanded they at least wear some damn underwear. I guarantee my view of human bodies is way healthier than someone who’s parents refused to even change a shirt in front of them.

    Love so much that everybody else's dads told them this! I think they tell you not to do it because you don't have as much contact grip on the pedal, but honestly one time I was driving in my steel capped work boots & my foot slipped off the clutch & got stuck UNDER the brake as I was coming into a roundabout where I needed to give way to a truck and I don't know how I managed to stop the car but I did, and I vowed to never drive in work boots again. 

    @pangolindrome 100%!! I don't think it's just Americans - it's very similar in Australia too. When I went to Sweden I was shocked that the gym showers were just a room with shower heads every metre or so & people were just wandering around naked. I changed in the toilet for the first 2 weeks then got over it & embraced nakedness. I now struggle at gyms here where I just strip down & get glares and start to feel embarrassed. We are raising our DD to embrace her body & if she doesn't want to wear clothes in the house then she doesn't have to - I'm usually in a t-shirt & knickers, & my husband is usually just in jocks. My daughter prefers to spend her days fully naked or at least with no knickers & pants on haha. We're focusing on her not feeling embarrassed about her body. Though, I've only just started changing in front of her because up until a couple of months ago she just wants to breastfeed whenever she saw my boobs. Even now whenever she sees them she wants to touch them 🤣

    I never breastfed with my 2 yr old, she wouldn't latch so I exclusively pumped. We shower together every few days and every time she sees my boobs she has to press in my nipples bc since exclusively pumping for a year they now permanently stand at attention and she finds it hilarious. I on the other hand don't appreciate it. Lol.
