Driver's Manual

My MIL is so concern about my situation here as she knows that i am totally a stranger in this place. She knows the life here in the US which is quite different with the lifestyle where I came from. She wants me to learn how to drive as the kids is getting bigger and perhaps will start school in 3 years time. She's been asking my husband to teach me how to drive and she will watch the kids. The husband just gave her a nod. She even got me a driver's manual for me to read. This kind of thing is supposed to be my husband's responsibility but I sensed that he is not really excited for me to learn things around here. That is why I don't like to ask things from my husband because i hate disappointment and rejection. I haven't read the whole manual yet because i was thinking what's the use of reading it if I am not driving or hands on driving lesson.
