Pst... Don't tell.. but, small kids, small problems. ;)
I'd rather change a hundred diapers and bootlefeed in the middle of night than having to worry about if they made it safe home after a night out.
No, man.. Appreciate the simplicity. Enjoy the sound of little feet walking little steps on the floor. It'll be gone before you realise that you need to spend even more time trying to find something on the TV that both you and your better half want to watch at the same time..
Why do they ask for that information anyway? So they know to capture you alive when you got a job that’s in demand in the destination country? Or do they hope to catch terrorists by fishing for ‘bomb builder’?
It really feels like some by-gone form field so many just keep putting on there because it's always been there.
So many places, including doctor practices, ask for this (in Australia), and you're just left feeling, why?? This is useless information that they don't need to know.
For tax, home loans, etc, sure, that's relevant information.
A doctor has a reasonal interest in your occupation. For office workers they’ll know to expect back issues and may nudge you towards preventive measures, for instance.
Yes but being made to fly actually hurts them because they aren't ready for the pressure differences.
They aren't crying just for the hell of it as much as everyone likes to joke about that being the case, that's literally the only way they have to express that they need something or that they're in some kind of distress for a good stretch of the time after they're born.
Until the kid is able to sit still and be relatively quiet all you're doing by forcing them onto the plane is imposing the very loud and painful results onto everyone else just trying to travel.
This goes for movies and restaurants and other such public places, though at least now you're not also actually hurting the kid by bringing them into that situation. Still being as much of an ass to everyone else just trying to go about their business though.
If you're mad that you're not allowed to go anywhere anymore, hire a babysitter to take the break you're imposing onto everyone else or maybe consider that next time before you bring a being who won't learn to sit still and stop screaming for everything the want and need for years to come into the world.
Honestly, publicly accessible HSR would be a dope way to travel with little ones, just flip the TV on and lock the door to the sleeper car room whenever you need to take a break from the railcation and get food or something.
Family carriages can even have a diaper dispenser and changing station in the room!
