Hi, my name is Jen, I am a mom, and I drive a minivan. The quintessential mom mobile. I know.
I love my Chrysler Town & Country minivan. See that sliding door? That is a beautiful thing when you have young kids.
It’s fabulous to cruise up to school pick up, push a button for the door to open, and watch the carpool kids easily climb in on their own. I pick up four girls in our carpool, and they can all find their way to a second or third row seat with ease. Once everyone is settled, the push button closes the door and we are on the way. It’s like magic.
I never have to worry about smacking an open door into another car in a parking lot while struggling with my child’s seatbelt. I can push a button on my keys and open the doors from afar to give the kids a head start getting in and into their seats. It’s nice to not have to worry about kids closing the door on themselves or their little fingers.
There are so many cup holders you can’t even use them all. Oh, and I really love the automatic key that allows me to open my car doors by sensor so I don’t have to dig in my purse to find my keys while my hands are full with kid crap.
So, I have to wonder, why would a car designed to make mom’s lives easier and more convenient arouse such hatred in people?
I have to say I honestly don’t get it. You know who I am talking about ~ the minivan haters.
I can’t tell you how many times I have heard
