[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]APs need simplification- switching from mini van with everything the kids and driver needs, to a small personal car, several times a day, will lead to unnecessary complications.  For the most part, APs are surprisingly young and immature, and they need clarity and direction from you as the host parent.  Don't pander to a teenager's whims.[/quote]

AP might switch three times at most. 1) Gets home in minivan for split shift, chooses to go out to do something in the middle of the day (gym, lunch with friends, whatever) using #3. 2) Arrives home by start of shift, uses minivan to pick up kids. 3) At the end of AP’s workday, AP chooses to go out in the evening socially and uses #3.

Directions would be clear. Work = minivan, social = 3rd car.

I guess your point is that this isn’t simple enough for some APs, especially the immature ones. We had a 19yo that would literally ask for the car 10 min before she was supposed to leave and meet friends, multiple times (eventually rematched for bigger isssues stemming from immaturity). Our 21yo would have been fine because she was very conscientious.[/quote]
