SAH/WOH - Why?

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?

So you honestly believe that it would have been a smarter choice for her to buy a minivan last year knowing that she would need something with a large towing capacity in the next 2-3 years?

Haven't tried that one, although we did bring home our new washing machine in the van.

I do think it's kneejerk. Even you suggested she could have driven a smaller suv. And I certainly never accused her of lying.

I'm done here.

Oh well, have a nice day. Kneejerk is assuming everyone with an SUV doesn't need it.

I wasn't even going to go there. I know (and I know you know) the capabilities of towing. A minivan just doesn't cut it.

Wasn't it you that said a vehicle should never have any problems with proper maintanence?

Really do you use the fullest capacity that your minivan has every time you drive?

When I buy a vehicle it is to fit my families needs. In that case the trucks, SUVS are not going to be environmentally friendly. Ask anyone that does anything to do with building. Ever see a plumber, a roofer, a landscaper driving a VW Bug?
