Product rec: Google Shared Calendar changed our life

Posting this because someone recommended it in another thread and I was skeptical. We set up a shared Google Calendar and literally just input appointments, pickups, school events, birthdays, etc. No communication needed except "I'm inputting Jake's soccer schedule on the family calendar." Sounds dumb but removing the back-and-forth scheduling texts has actually reduced tension. We both see what's happening. Both can add events. No he-said-she-said. Highly recommend if you're not already doing this.
