So... I thought I might air out my relationship dirty laundry tonight. My wife and I have had a disagreement on how many strollers we should have.
We have two kids, and three strollers. Right away, you can see the discrepancy there. Imagine my surprise when my wife told me we need a new stroller. Really??!!?? We already have 3! I tried to remind her of the current iPad situation where we have like 7 iPads (I suppose that is a different rant so I digress).
First, you need to know that I am anti-stroller in the first place. I think if you have the kids, you should carry them or let them walk themselves when they are able, and pass on the what I refer to as the "kid aides". Of course, my stance is based on my dad position and I recognize that my time with the kids is mostly play, and very few chores like grocery shopping (just how it is at my house, but I know each house is different) since my wife stays at home with the kids.
So to me, one stroller is plenty. Who knew there were even different types? Not me, until I started having kids. So our current 3 strollers consistent of a "pocket stroller" which is extremely small and maneuverable, perfect for the mall or tight places. Next is the "normal" stroller that is larger, has more storage space, and can hold the kid's car seats. Third is the "jogging stroller", which is for running/jogging/rough terrain and has oversized tires and I swear has better shock absorbers than my pickup truck.
Well, my wife informed me we needed a fourth stroller - the "double stroller". Yes we have two kids, but one can walk! Like any good attorney, I argued my case as best I could to the judge and jury (my wife apparently holds both of these positions) who then ruled against me. Therefore, we now have 4 strollers. I had to pull them all out for a mugshot:
I also need to see where my wife is storing this new stroller as the garage was already bursting at the seams with the kids toys and "stuff" (like strollers). After I finish this post, I am going to check the garbage can to make sure my wife did not throw my golf clubs out in order to make room for the new stroller...
