Wish me luck

Next weekend I’m going to be driving about 12 hours with all 5 of my kids I’ll leave at night so they can hopefully sleep most of the time but I’m not looking forward to the drive

Please be careful. I just drove over 3k miles on a trip. 5 hrs is about the limit for a safe drive. Take breaks every few hours. 🤗

@Livingwell I will ☺

I don’t do night driving any more … unless around town and the city or stuff but for long drive I usually leave at like zero dark thirty and drive for 8-10 hours then get a hotel over night then rinse and repeat…if you get a hotel with a swimming pool the kids will have a place to burn off energy when you stop :-)

That’s quite a drive. With 5 kids it can easily go from 12 to 14. But hopefully they’ll sleep through most of it

Been there, done that a lot. Be careful and rest up ahead.

@BrandNewMan definitely going to need rest

Do you have experience doing this? Are you driving a van? 6 people in the car, you're 26-30, so 5 kids means some car seats as well and none of them available for relief-driving.

@MommaBear Stretches will only extend the time, doesn't reduce it. Seriously, if you haven't done this before, you should have a back up plan: motel.

@Northwest I know I’m not driving alone Cowboy is going too and will be taking turns but he will probably be doing most the driving

@MommaBear OK, don't know who cowboy is, and it's not one of the kids toys... 🤣 Be safe.

Just remember…when you’re at the the service station having fully fueled up, and the kids are still inside fighting over who gets to use the bathroom first while you stare at the road ahead with an empty car, you have a choice to make 🤭

Where are you going? Why drive so far?
MommaBear · 26-30, F
@ToriTalking 12 hours is the approximate distance that we need to go we have an event we need to attend

@MommaBear Wedding? Funeral? Something like that? Why drive if its so far?
MommaBear · 26-30, F
@ToriTalking honestly I’m afraid of flying I’ve done it but don’t want to do it again and it would be way more expensive to fly

Wait a minute! They let you drive? 🤔🤭
MommaBear · 26-30, F
@Degbeme lol to be honest Cowboy will probably be doing most of the driving I don’t see well at night 😅
