Packing for the first week-long vacation that we're taking where it's just the three of us, and my word, when you travel with a baby, you essentially have to take your entire house....

By the time they’re 15 though, “Pack your own shit and that includes gotch.”

It’s really not vacation at first so much as it is experiencing life somewhere else. But it’s good practice. And then when they entertain themselves for bits at a time, then vacation is amazing.

And you will still get halfway to where you are going & realize you have forgotten something you will really need, but do not want to buy a new one of bc it is something you don't normally need two of.

It really not a vacation for your wife. It is ok, she knows it, and still loves you.

I remember those days and if you are flying you really have issues between the car seat, stroller , pack n play to mention a few . But relish every minute because they grow up so fast ! ❤️

There are two ways to travel: first class, and with kids.

Yes, all new patents should undergo military manoeuvers and logistics training

Parents, of course, not patents

You will only use 1/3 of what you brought, but you will have something of importance at home.

No you don't. Why do people believe this? You are making life unnecessarily hard for yourself. How old is Baby, and where are you going? I can help!

Um, you realize that people can make jokes on here, right?

Oops 😬 Neurospicy individual here, I sometimes miss the nuance, and can interpret things as literal. (Especially as I have - many, many times - heard people declare this in earnest. One of my neighbours in India brought her Mixi with her when going away with her baby!)

Oh yes you do! You will need to keep doing this and much more for the rest of your life! Welcome to the part of parenthood no one tells you about.😉

I tell people traveling while disabled is like traveling with a toddler. It’s why I bought an rv. I can pack it all in there and don’t have to move it into a hotel and only remove it once home. (I have a shit ton of medical equipment.)

Leaving for a week with our year and a half old tomorrow as well. We’ve traveled with her a couple times already but packing and preparing for the trip is still an incredibly daunting task.

So you're advertising to those burglarizing homes that they have an entire week to spend inside yours. Oh, but if you take the "entire house" nothing to worry about...
