  We’re a family of six, and the kids don’t have phones. It’s tough to coordinate schedules already and it’s only going to get worse.

  I recognize that I’m an edge case.

    You’re not an edge case. My family isn’t that large but we still have challenges with this exact thing.

    There’s a screen device that my wife gets incessantly advertised to her that is probably a better option than it being built into a fridge that has been engineered to last 3 weeks longer than the warranty.

    I was trying to say there is paper. That’s what we always did.

      We’ve tried paper. And dry-erase. The problem is that we keep our calendars and todos and schedules on our phones, which don’t automatically update the paper; and by the second week, we tend to just stop manually updating it. There’s a paper calendar in my office that I just flipped to October last week (from August).

      The only way that really seems to work, where we don’t forget an event, is having a single digital shared calendar.

        and the kids don’t have phones.

        So just the two of you?

        Also, if you do end up sharing a digital calendar on a device you already have, what is the fridges for?
