Psychology suggests fathers who always insist on driving may be doing more than just taking control

Fathers often take the wheel on family trips, not just for control, but as a profound act of care. Psychology suggests this stems from a deep-seated need to provide, protect, and remain useful, especially as children mature. This practical expression of love, rooted in societal expectations and a desire for purpose, allows many dads to feel needed and contribute to their family's well-being.
