    Why the hell are you taking newborns or elderly people in long commutes (and not using a train)?

      I live in regional Australia. There are no passenger trains within about 5 hours drive.

      The city I live in has about 50,000 people. I’m not in the middle of nowhere.

      My parents do live in the middle of nowhere though, about an 150km from the nearest grocery store.

      My circumstances aren’t that unusual really.
