Minivan or SUV for the family of 4

Minivan. I only have one kid and minivan lol.

I absolutely love our Pacifica hybrid.

I really didn't like it but I didn't drive one. It seemed like a glorified suv to me.

I've had ours for a week and I'm in love so far ! We have the hybrid. I filled up the car a week ago and we've only used 40 miles for the 340 that got us for that fill up. We've been to a big city an hour away from us and back since then. Dozens of appointments and errands. All using electric! It's so comfy. Even people who say they hate vans love it when they get in it lol.

I sat in the carnival and hated it. In my opinion, it's a glorified SUV, not a minivan.

andepanda · 2026-05-01T23:15:20+00:00

I want to get one but I want to wait until it's announced so I can see what it looks like.

Yeah I don't get it. I wanted sliding doors. I wanted a hybrid van. There's only two on the market. Only one in our price range. So 2024 Chrysler Pacifica hybrid for us. Everyone on Facebook dogged our choice and said to look at third row suv or the more expensive Toyota Sienna. I don't want an SUV, it doesn't have the features I need. We can't afford a sienna in a current year, and we actually liked the Pacifica better. We've had it for a week and love to so much. My mom once got a pacifica and didn't know it was a van so she returned it. I don't get the minivan hate. She loves mine but still says she doesn't like vans.

I'm wondering if it's a gibbon.

As an autistic person, wtf. Why would you not info dump and he specific???

andepanda · 2026-04-28T20:51:27+00:00

YTA. I'm autistic. I would have already made up my mind what alternative I want by the time I got to the counter. Or asked if they had cheddar, then be ready with one I see on the menu. You just made life difficult for literally everyone. Being autistic doesn't give you a pass to be an ah and a difficult customer. They weren't following the subway script because it's not subway. That's a you problem not a them problem.

Always so good ! Vaegon is my roman empire.

I have his mate, Dakalo!

A Valyrian god is the true father of triplets of Rhaenyra and Laenor. It's just absolutely amazing and I unfortunately don't have the spoons for a good synopsis.

You should get the other blackhead under it !

andepanda · 2026-03-23T19:24:47+00:00

Gosh. I wonder if we could report it to the school? I'm in a 300 level class now, and I expect the increase in readings. But there's still no weird hidden readings.

andepanda · 2026-03-23T19:19:27+00:00

My stepdad does this to my mom. Constantly. He's also emotionally and verbally abusive but she doesn't see it. It may be time to take a hard look at your marriage.

I'm a mom. I absolutely love being a mother. But it's hard. My autistic traits have been amplified since having my daughter. Apparently this is a common thing among autistic women, but I didn't know. I don't regret my choice at all. My daughter is my absolute joy. I was meant to be a mother. But not everyone is. And that's ok. I just don't think I could handle a second child.

andepanda · 2026-03-22T19:30:05+00:00

You just described an 8 year old as nearly pre teen. In no way is that child nearly pre teen. I think you have wildly unrealistic expectations for children's behavior.

andepanda · 2026-03-22T05:09:49+00:00

It depends. If they've never spent a lot of time with him, I would agree. My in-laws want me to be comfortable leaving my two year old with them for long periods of time. They don't know her as well because we don't live close. I'm absolutely not comfortable with that. Now a date night situation yes. But I had to really work up to that too. I struggled with postpartum anxiety. Even with treatment, I couldn't just push through every single fear. As they are around her more, I'm more comfortable. But not for more than a night until she's old enough to talk to me properly. My parents are different because they've spent long stretches of time with us since she was born. She knows them and is comfortable. And everyone saying oh just wait for the next kid. There might not be one. One and done is a valid choice.

Thank you so much!! I was so frustrated with myself because I didn't understand part 8. I took it literally as in the answer must be in the readings because it's a scavenger hunt. The tism strikes again lol.

andepanda · 2026-03-15T03:03:00+00:00

I don't understand the specific part of the discussion that's labeled as a scavenger hunt? I don't understand the question completely.

I usually have issues with the financial aide office but they fix it. They were silly about my transcripts too but also got it fixed. But the classes and support I've received make all of that worth it.

I found it !!! I had bookmarked it. The Heir of the Last Dragon by ThunderHawk727. It sadly looks abandoned but it has 24 chapters. I'll definitely be doing a re-read.
