I've seen it go both ways. But, it seems the best way for her to want it is for you to walk away and do your thing.

Sign her up for a class (or five) without you. I can assure you, in her head she is disappointing you.

I recommend loved ones stay the heck away from someone learning to drive cars and motorcycles. Expectations, whether real or not, get in the way of the learning process.

MSF for the win.
