the person moving that dog toy in those 6 years never wondered about the weight and splashing sounds from within? "drat that dog drools like hell!"

Ha ha ha ha haquote:And how is this not unfair for him? I mean his whole family goes and its a once in a life time event. I understand not forcing her to go but why shouldnt he be allowed to go? They could hire someone to watch the baby or she could go on a vacation afterwards while he watches the baby. Compromises are important to prevent growing resentment.

When we went to my MiLs in Florida two years ago, our niece was 7 weeks old and was basically the star attraction. That said, flying was a bit of a PITA, but they managed it despite also having a 2 year old. I'm on the side of drinking Pina coladas while everyone tells them how perfect their baby is.

Imagine at the beginning of a relationship someone was like "hey, make sure you take time off for this trip 3 years from now" and the trip isn't to somewhere difficult to get to or even that exotic. Maybe they're super poor though, so I guess I could just be an rear end in a top hat.

You can't get an MMR that early can you? Cause that baby is definitely getting measles.

And a 2 month old baby is likely to be crying a lot in "any other circumstance". It's not so different for the parents but it sure is for the dozens of other passengers who would probably prefer not to be stuck in a sealed tube with an intermittently screaming infant for 14 hours.

If I had trip planned 10 years in the future that was incredibly important to go on, I'd make sure I didn't get my wife pregnant between those dates?? Like, the dude got her pregnant, he ruined his own trip. He makes it sound like it's something she just went and decided to do. Maybe they've been trying for a kid for a while, but even so use protection for a year or half a year or how ever big of a window you want to make sure your wife won't be heavily pregnant or nursing a 1 month old during your incredibly important vacation.

SirSamVimes posted:Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't there a slight difference between a one month old and an eight month old Yeah, 1 month olds sleep all the time, so it's easier. The only thing I would worry about at 1 month would be the possibility of them getting sick, but if they are breastfeeding the risk is a lot lower because at that point they are still picking up their mother's antibodies from the milk.

Nah, they really don't cry that much. People that think you shouldn't travel with a kid are the same people that lose it over any minor inconvenience. Children are an important part of society and expecting not to ever encounter crying babies is kind of absurd.

Totally agree, as long as said Kid's parents are doing their part to try and keep their kid sane. Like if you have a baby and it cries, big whoop. If you have a 4 year old who keeps kicking the back of my seat and you do nothing, it's time we end your lineage.

FactsAreUseless posted:1. You have all vastly missed the point of that post Yeah, I feel like people are missing that it's the wife -- the mother of the child, who'll be one month post-partum at the time -- who doesn't want to go. The baby isn't really the issue; it's the mom who's likely to be physically and emotionally thrashed, especially if the pregnancy and/or birth were difficult. If she wanted to go on the trip, right on, but she has the right to focus on recovery and not long flights and dealing with in-laws in ONCE IN A LIFETIME GO GO GO mode.
