My wife rounded up the kids in the car and asked me, "Are you ready to go shopping with us?" upon which I said, "Okay, but first let me do a pre-boarding pee."
Dude, you're not flying fro LA to New York; you're driving one mile to Trader Joe's. Where the hell does "pre-boarding pee" come from?
It comes from not wanting to use public restrooms, some of which are filthy and crawling with germs that can make your life a living hell.

What Angelo said, plus fatherhood. When we have little ones we start living by their cycles and habits, even if we don't have to.

I personally don't see any problem with that. Why not drive in comfort instead of being "under pressure" cause you have to do.
Some of the restrooms in public buildings I've been in make outhouses look clean and sanitary by comparison. I'd much rather go at home or at a known good location. Decades ago my friend owned a video store and he allowed me to have a key to come and go as I wanted. 9 times out of 10 I'd stop by when they were closed just to use a clean restroom!
