Common refrain from people who have no direct experience of being a parent.
Minivans are practical solutions.
1. Lower to the ground (toddlers can walk in)
2. Automatic doors (in car drop off at school you often are not allowed to exit vehicle)
3. Your kids won’t throw open
You’ll never convince me that wearers of crocs (adults) and drivers of minivans haven’t given up on life. What’s the point of these things if not for signaling that?

One thing I will always admire about my late father is that he built two houses with his own hands, despite having no prior experience or training.
The first one at age 30, the second in his mid-40s.

Lazy parent take. Don’t buy it. Don’t do it.
It’s not actually hard to take your kids to a restaurant. I have four of them (ages 3-10).
Pro-tips:
• Go before they’re hungry.
• Prepare them. “We’re going to go into this restaurant. I expect everyone to act accordingly.
Before I was a parent, I would say “I’ll never let my kid have an iPad while out to dinner.”
Then, I became a parent.

The real reasons people aren’t having children:
1. People don’t like sex. People don’t like making other people. If there’s no possibility of getting pregnant, you’re not really having sex. You’re just kinda messing around with the safety on.
2. People want to be children
