Every parent knows that a road trip with multiple children in the backseat can quickly turn into a chaotic scene. The classic line, “I will turn this car around!” is a familiar refrain, often uttered in moments of frustration. While it may not always be a real threat, it highlights just how far parents will go to restore peace among their little ones. One particularly resourceful dad, known as Tim Foster, decided to take a more hands-on approach to tackle the constant squabbling among his three kids.
Tim shared a photo on Facebook that conveys a thousand words—many of which are too colorful to print. Tired of the relentless fighting and fussing in the backseat, he devised a simple yet ingenious solution that would make even the most seasoned problem solvers nod in approval. He built makeshift barriers between the kids!
These barriers might not be Fort Knox-level secure, and it’s safe to say Tim didn’t get any help from the government to fund this project, but judging by the satisfied grin on his face and the praise he received from a drive-thru worker who dubbed it “brilliant,” it seems to be doing the trick.
As a parent of two—one of whom is still learning to express themselves—I can relate to the temptation of upgrading to a stretch limousine just to raise the privacy divider and enjoy a moment of peace. Of course, the thought of a minibar in the back is also quite appealing!
Navigating the chaos of children in a car is no small feat, and managing three triplets all vying for attention? That’s an entirely different ballgame. Kudos to Tim for finding a practical solution to a recurring challenge. I’m just curious how long it’ll take for one of those kids to figure out a way to negotiate their freedom—perhaps with a rock hammer in hand!

In summary, Tim Foster’s clever approach to reducing bickering among his three kids in the backseat is a testament to parental creativity. With a few simple barriers, he’s managed to create a more peaceful driving experience, proving that sometimes the best solutions come from thinking outside the box.
