Every parent knows that taking multiple kids on a car ride can often spell chaos. The phrase “I’ll turn this car around!” has become a classic for a reason. While it might usually be an empty threat, it highlights just how far parents will go to keep the peace in the backseat. One clever dad, however, decided to take action rather than just making threats.
The story revolves around a single photo shared on social media, but this image captures the essence of every parent’s struggle. Meet Scott Thompson, a fed-up father of triplets who was tired of the constant squabbling and shoving happening among his three little ones squeezed into car seats. So, Scott put on his thinking cap and devised a straightforward yet effective solution that would make even the most seasoned negotiators nod in approval.
He built makeshift barriers between the kids. While these partitions may not be Fort Knox, they certainly seemed to do the trick. Given the satisfied grin on Scott’s face and the praise he received from a drive-thru worker who called it “brilliant,” it’s clear that this dad’s DIY project was a success.
As a parent of two—one of whom is quite chatty—I can relate to the temptation of upgrading to a stretch limousine just to raise that privacy shield and enjoy some much-needed peace and quiet. Let’s be honest, the minibar would be a bonus too! Driving with kids is often a test of patience, and I can only imagine how challenging it must be with three of the same age, all vying for their place in the sibling hierarchy. It’s a recipe for headaches and perhaps a few unwanted school brochures.
Hats off to Scott for conjuring up a practical solution to a common parenting dilemma. I do wonder how long it’ll be before one of those kiddos attempts to negotiate their way out of their little fortress! They might not need to crawl 500 yards to escape, but given their age, I can only imagine the potential for mischief inside those seats.
