>Buying a sensible family car because of children If it works for you, then do it. >Buying a sensible family car you don't want because of children No. I refuse to pay tens of thousands, which I will have to do in this place, for something that'll make me miserable. >Selling a car you really like to buy sensible family car you don't like Even worse than above. Absolutely nein. >Insisting on buying a NEW family car Wait, isn't the kids-with-juice-and-Nutella-in-the-back-seat EXACTLY the scenario that the Volvo beater was invented for? Roomy, safe as can be. Why would I be buying a new car when it's by definition going to be beat on, kicked, dinged and smeared in feces and/or sandwich spreads?
tl;dr: Get beater child hauler, keep hektik skidsmobile

That subaru joke picture from CL explained it best - it's not the kids, it's the wife. In america, you can't make compromise or argue because they're cucked into the relationship because of sex and it will just end in divorce in 2 months. The WRX he was selling was perfectly fine, they had a house with a garage for two cars, and had the money to buy whatever they wanted in reason. She was just being a controlling cunt and has to have it her way. Some men won't do this immediately and they'll compromise but give it just a year and they'll be brainwashed.
Selling your car for this reason isn't really a failing on her, it's a failing on yourself because you made the wrong choice to get into this relationship. Marriage is completely dead for you as a man, there is absolutely positively nothing in it for you whatsoever except for the implicit promise of sex.

I think a lot of soon-to-be new parents don't realize that families will typically use only one car to haul kids around. It's not obvious that trading cars is easier than moving car seats until you try it, I guess. Plus, that way you only get one interior ruined.

its called being a cuck instead lf keeping it and teaching your kids about cars, you buy a shitty carolla.
but if you are a sensible man, ypu just buy your wife a huge suv

Only issue with this is that you can't go TOO old for the brat-wagon because you need something that's equipped with modern child seat anchors ("LATCH"). Thankfully it's not as much of a problem as it used to be, I think most cars from ~2002 onward have them.
It'd be fun to take an old beater and strip out/ruggedize the rear interior, so you could just spray all the kid grime out with a hose.

It works out pretty well, assuming you have the cash to pay someone to watch them. Otherwise, I imagine it's a bitch and a half.

GF had a grump about my car >user it's too impractical, got no room, is loud, and it can't carry a bag bigger than a rucksack
I use it to go to work. Perfect commuter car. 45-50mpg. Small enough to park anywhere. Finish work, take roof down and blast work off over a nice drive home.
So I sold the MR2
And got a single seat motorbike, an Aprillia Mille R.
Women have to be taught that things can get worse if you provoke.

having a child means money is going to fly right out the window at every possible occasion maybe it was just a money issue
