Tell me you live somewhere temperate without telling me where you live. Have you been to much of the US in the winter?

    I agree with you and I live in Florida. I'd rather deal with the drive thru for the same reasons you listed.

    Also, I won't have to deal with trying to buckle a 2 & 4 year-old out of and back into their car seats, especially when it's raining and 95*F. The 4 year old has ASD and refuses to be helped into the car so they throw a tantrum in the rain, and the 2 year old loses their mind just because.

    There are things that people who don't have/want kids can't understand, and it's an argument not worth having.

    I spent 5 years living in Alaska.

    You’ve lived in Alaska for multiple winters and you aren’t worried about the problem with exposing small children to extreme cold?

    You should see how the Finnish treat their babies. Things like frostbite and frostnip don't happen in the few seconds it takes to get from a car to a door. Yes, with small children, those 10 or 20 seconds might turn into 60, but they will be fine.

    A low temperature in Alaska will affect you MUCH differently than low temperatures in say, BC which is much more humid and cuts into my bones at -1 where in Alaska/Yukon I've handled -34 and I'm mostly struggling to breath.

    As long as it's a quick jaunt into a heated facility, it should be fine with some moderate layers.

    Not in US, but it's -18 outside right now, and I had no problem walking to my grandma's home in -25 for 1km. This is not even Yakutia, but US is definetly not Oymyakon.

    I’m happy for you? You’re very tough. I wouldn’t do that shit if you paid me ten million and I definitely wouldn’t make a ten year old do it.

    People do it for living. Just wear warm clothes. Well, that warm clothes might be an overkill, just wear regular warm clothes. As I said it's not even Yakutia.

    I definitely wouldn’t make a ten year old do it

    10 years olds, you know, need to go to school. And they do*. I did when I was 10. Everyone did.

    *unless it's below -25 outside
