Minivans get a bad rap. β£ β£ Agreed, they're not the fattest whip to jaunt around town in but when you're a parent who gives a fuck about cool? β£ β£ Would you rather be cool or stuck in your driveway for hours trying to jam all the kid's crap into a coupe? β£ β£ 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. β£ β£ While at the bike shop I priced out some racks because I lost a couple of teeth making a right turn. β£ β£ 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. β£ β£ Let's all be honest, none of us were ever really cool. And if you thought you were, you probably weren't. β£ β£ 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. β£ β£ Warren Buffett drove a 2006 Cadillac DTS until 2014. His daughter made the billionaire buy the new ride because his old car was "embarrassing." β£ β£ 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?" β£ β£ 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.β£ β£ "How the hell did you kids get sneaker prints on the interior roof?! Did you climb into the car through the sunroof?!?!"β£ β£ How can any of us be cool if our kids are continuously causing us to lose it? β£ β£ ββ£ β£ #kids #cool #family #minivan #cars #familycar #parentingtips #parentinghacks #singleparent #parentinghumor #parenting101 #fighting #kids #parentinglife #parentingmeme #dadlifeβ£ https://www.instagram.com/p/ByjJM1XA-In/?igshid=pq9x05o7dy51
