Came here just to say this. Aside from being a good parent, you have to focus on your partner and you (that is assuming you want to, if not the case then please disregard). Without that relationship being healthy, everything changes. It spiraled into divorce for me two years later. Doesn’t need to be much, but learn to even go on dates with the baby. You can, and it helps. Flying is also not that bad - if you can, buy a seat for the baby, and you can just bring them on in their car seat. It took me 3 kids before I finally figured it out :) Good luck and congrats!
- brucetim 4y agoAlways buy seats for your kids! Don't try to hold the baby on your lap; it won't end well for either of you :) Seat belt extenders for larger fliers are invaluable for getting the car seat buckled in too!
- Yeahsureok 4y agoThis is one of those things that is always easy to tell others to do on the Internet for self benefit. Post one sentence and guilt trip others into behaving better while not having to change oneself at all. Bravo. I always wonder if such people who write these comments would themselves commit to a verifiable improvement of their own behaviour in public according to to the norms of others. I'd love to see it :)
- unixhero 4y agoWhere is the guilt tripping. The advice is sound, get a car seat, consider a belt extender.
- 28304283409234 4y agoExactly. Except: do not fly. Go somewhere that requires no flying. This planet thanks you.
- unixhero 4y agoImpossible. Family is on the other side of the planet. And also, flying and holidays are the best thing in the world. I will never give it up.
