Minivans get a bad rap. Agreed, they're not the fattest whip to jaunt around town in but when you're a parent who gives a fuck about cool? Would you rather be cool or stuck in your driveway for hours trying to jam all the kid's crap into a coupe? I've never owned a minivan, but I understand the purchase. I especially appreciate the purchase after spending half a Saturday trying to jam my mountain bike into the backseat of my car. I had to put all the windows down, both front seats as far up as possible, and turn the steering wheel with my mouth. While at the bike shop I priced out some racks because I lost a couple of teeth making a right turn. And if you're refusing to buy a minivan but need one because you're trying with all your might to hang onto the person you were before you had kids, get over yourself. Let's all be honest, none of us were ever really cool. And if you thought you were, you probably weren't. Whatever you drive, it's just a car. It's not a reflection of you as a person, as a parent, or a level of success. Warren Buffett drove a 2006 Cadillac DTS until 2014. His daughter made the billionaire buy the new ride because his old car was "embarrassing." My answer would have been "sorry, dear, I was on the phone changing some parts of my will. Now, what were you saying about my car again?" The second car is the "going out" car. It's cleaner. The kids haven't destroyed every stitch of fabric or managed to get footprints on every flat surface of the vehicle. "How the hell did you kids get sneaker prints on the interior roof?! Did you climb into the car through the sunroof?!?!" How can any of us be cool if our kids are continuously causing us to lose it? — #kids #cool #family #minivan #cars #familycar #parentingtips #parentinghacks #singleparent #parentinghumor #parenting101 #fighting #kids #parentinglife #parentingmeme #dadlife https://www.instagram.com/p/ByjJM1XA-In/?igshid=pq9x05o7dy51
