That could be grounds for divorce.

Years ago for my mom's birthday I made her a wheel stop. Find a big old truck mudflap (easy to find on the side of the road if you keep your eyes open) and a 2x4. Screw the 2x4 to one of the edges of the mudflap and your done. Bevel the 2x4 if your feeling frisky and just make sure no screws are poking out anywhere.
Throw the whole deal down in the front of your garage where the front of one of your front tires would be when your pulled all the way forward. Just slowly ease into the garage until you run into it. Once a month or so you have to kick it back an inch or 2 as the car slowly pushes it forward a smidge.

LOL, I JUST did that!! Screw the dogs & cats if they can't get out of the way..no little kids here to worry about! I also use those self stick/glue down wheel bumps from Home Depot. If you HAVE to you can drive over them, as I usually leave my car in neutral and that way I don't have to worry about rolling.
