[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here. This is our 2nd road trip ever with kids. All of our relatives & grandparents live local, within 30 min. drive. Their schools are a few minutes away drive from home, and all of camps/classes are within 5 min to max 1 hr drive. I think the biggest 2 problems is DH listening to his favorite metal music while driving & the 6 year old talking nonstop/bothering 9 year old. I can't complain much because he is the driver, and he says that he wants to enjoy his drive listening to his music. No one loves that heavy metal music in the car, except him.

We are flying to CA from DC in August, and I have to make sure that they both have window seats to look at clouds. [/quote]

Oh wait.. I am a sucker. This is clearly a TROLL...lol good one. [/quote]

+1 OP completely buried the lede that this DH is ridiculous[/quote]

Oh, got it. Def a troll. This is all so silly[/quote]

I mean someone is always the driver and most adults would rather listen to their own music, audiobook, podcast. We make the minor compromise of listening to kid-friendly stuff at least some of the time to make the drive enjoyable for them too and because they are also part of the family! I can't even believe the nonsense OP wrote in the followup.[/quote]

I'm the driver in my family and there's no way I'd make everyone listen to country music the whole drive. We listen to whatever everyone is mostly okay with. I'd whine too if I had to listen to metal music for more than a minute. DH can use headphones.

OP might want to think about whether she's contributing to the problem by treating this length of drive as a big deal and something to be endured, because it's just not.[/quote]
