Sharing a car with DH, experiences?

[Habbs]

Well we bit the bullet and got a shared family car and sold both of ours. DH works from home and I only work part time 10 minutes away from home so it seemed to make sense and we needed something bigger as we have a baby due soon.

His car used to sit on the drive for days at a time without moving whereas I use mine daily. Hoping we're in for a smooth ride! How has anyone else found it?

It should be OK as neither necessarily need the car everyday.

We went down to one car when our children were younger as 'my' one sat on the drive except when I went shopping once a week. I would do shopping when DH was home or do home delivery. We have plenty of parks we could go to in walking distance.

It's only been in the last 2 years that we've got a second car as we needed it as we have children at different schools, and as the children are older (15,11,10) do different clubs ETC and it got too difficult getting to places I needed to be with them. And DH changed contracts and was no longer doing 9 to 5 and could do the pick ups at later times.

My ex and I only ever had one car between us. It was never a problem (in a decade). We used to wonder why we’d need another one. You just organise your life to fit with your one car circumstances.

We only have one. Both of us cycle to work. I use it on my days off to go shopping, do interesting stuff with our child, etc. At the weekends we're either doing things close enough to home to either walk or cycle, or we go out together as a family with it.
