Should I start looking at minivans and houses in the burbs now or will I know when the time comes? Is there any way to avoid it? I really don't want a long commute every day.

From what I've seen, as soon as you have multiple kids, need multiple strollers, diaper bags, etc...people hop on the minivan plan pretty quickly.
I have another friend who avoided the mini van and got an SUV with leather interior...which is now covered in kids toys and slime.
I actually drove a Town and Country on our last road trip down to Portland. It was actually a pretty great driving experience. I didn't have kids in the back, but 4 large drunk men. We probably had a similar number of bathroom requests and it was challenging keeping everyone's hands inside the van.
