Hinesh Chauhan breaks down how divorce doubles your stuff: skates, bikes, skis end up in two places. You waste time retrieving forgotten items and money maintaining separate households. He argues you should make separation decisions knowing these costs are coming.
Two households, you need doubles of everything. You need doubles, skates, skis, bikes, maybe not skis.
There's some things that maybe get trucked back and forth. Let's get started. Hi, I'm Hanish Chohan. This is Decent Divorced Dads. Today we're going to be talking about wastefulness. Let's get started.
Being the child of immigrants, waste was a huge taboo.
And taboo is putting it mildly.
And with those values growing up, I.
Recognize what is wasteful very quickly.
And what I learned, or what I've seen and experienced throughout divorce, is how wasteful the reality is. Because two households, you need doubles of everything. You need doubles, skates, skis, bikes, maybe not skis.
There's some things that maybe get trucked.
Back and forth, and that's a challenge in its own.
So on one hand, you have to have doubles of everything. And when your kids are young, they're growing out of that so quickly that you're constantly replacing it, and it hardly.
Gets anywhere because they're using it half the time.
Then there's other items like instruments or.
Skis and snowboards that go back and forth.
And if they're forgotten at the other.
Parent'S place, that means you need to go get them. It's not hard or uncommon for the other parent to live 20 to 30 minutes away.
That means you just lost an hour of your day going to go get that. These things drive me nuts. And kids will be kids. They will forget it. And I'm sharing this because I want you to consider that these extra costs.
These wasteful actions that are just the.
Reality of what life is like when.
You'Re a single parent and there's two households that your children live in. So again, another consideration if you're headed.
On the path to separation or divorce.
Is that the extra costs, the extra waste will become a part of your.
Life and will be a reality.
So make your decisions with integrity.
