SAH/WOH - Why?
| Mon, 02-20-2006 - 7:41am |
I am sure this has been done before but I was wondering this in light of recent posts lately.
Why did you decide to sah/woh?
Was it a choice or something expected of you?
Was your plan to sah/woh though out or impulsive? Long-term or short-term?

"Nope. Still doesn't change the environmental factor. That is what you have been talking about. I personally feel the way you are saying. It just contridicts your environment point with me."
No, I've been talking about people doing what they can and thinking about the environment when making choices about things like cars. But in any case what the old couple driving the car does doesn't change the fact that buying two new cars for your teens is worse for the environment than having them use yours.
"Sure I would. Let's say I am driving 40K per year and then adding their activities to my current car would be 10K per year. That would wear out my car a lot faster than if they had their own."
No, you said just the additional driving would result in you having to buy a new car during those four years.
"I am saving myself gas and wear and tear that way. They will pay for their own gas and their owupkeep of their cars."
So now you claim you were talking about saving "yourself" gas? That's not what you said before.

In many cars it is. In fact, in the 2004 Honda Accord, it is a lapbelt only. Funny, since the Accord is one of the cars you've cited.
I said new car. I didn't say 2004.
For that matter so is her 1999 Honda. So in reality her minivan only seats 6 unless she uses that lapbelt on the bench on the third row, and that includes the driver. So the sedan will seat 5 including the driver. Interesting.

Do you think it is a safe choice to put a small child in the front seat with a disarmed airbag??
