10/17: One car edition

We have had one car since 2019. We are a family of 5 with lots of different events/therapies/jobs, but somehow we have made it work. Having one car adds to mental load for all of us, but specifically in these ways that Jake handles:

✅ plans when to get the kids in the car so that he can get me to work on time

✅ is solely on call if poppy or wells needs him during the school day since I don’t have a vehicle

✅maps out the time to get me based on my after school meetings and duties

✅mental load in general of putting the kids in and out (remembering all the buckles and latches and making sure everyone has what they need to be out the doors.

Maybe soon we will have a second car 🙌🏻
