You have three cars. Thats selfish not to let one use yours if you are not using it. Probably one is the bully and gets it the most.

Just communicate.

DH’s car is officially dead-dead. We’ve had a job loss since COVID. I already was WFH. Our only child is now schooling from home so we’re going to try being a one car family for a while. We are not metro walkable. We are walkable to several restaurants/coffee shops/convenience stores and to a quick bus that goes to the pharmacy we use and an okay grocery store — for reference. We’ve already discussed needing to plan ahead with each other regarding his tennis and me and DD going to the pool.

Any other tips to make car sharing easier/less prone to arguments?
