Do your kids/friends call "SHOTGUN"?

My kids have this debate all the way to the car. For those of you who dont know what Shotgun means, its who sits in front. My girls always seem to work it out by taking turns, but not until I threatened them with the both of them sitting in back all the time. Do you have "SHOTGUN" debate in your car?

Yea I used to have the same probelm with my 2 girls, so I bought a new ford truck that could seat 3. After that the girls could sit upfront with me. The problem was my wife wasn't too happy riding in the back, especially when it rained or snowed.

Since my vehicle has airbags on both sides, technically my 10yo is not old enough to sit in the front seat. She will though if it is only her. But if her 13yo sister is also riding with us she will let her sit in the front - no arguments. However, DH has an old car. I hear them yelling shotgun all the time when they go with him. I also found a list in his glove box that my daughter made on the computer. It was just their names alternating so they could check off who rode in the front seat last. Silly, isn't it?

My kids used to, but now that SS15 is over 6 feet tall, he has to sit in the front. He doesn't fit in our backseat! SD only gets to ride up front if he's not going with us.
