Am i crazy for taking an 18m old on an 11 hour flight?

Our 10th wedding anniversary is coming up and I have found a holiday to Mexico. We have a 6yo and 4yo (who I'm not concerned about) but our youngest would be 18m. He would be sat on someone's lap the whole flight. Is this doable?! 😅 We travel a lot but haven't done anything far flung since having children.

Question for the biggest group I know: how do you keep your kids safe when out and about?

My 5year olds school is walking distance - about 15minutes walking but I let my kids use their scooter (other child is 3) so it's even quicker like 10mins or less.

1st birthday party

My son isn’t a year old for another 8 months🤣 but I like to plan things ahead. Theme will be ‘one-a-saurus’ but I have no idea what I can do. Hiring a hall, bouncy castle and ball pit is all I can come up with but looking for any other ideas? Ages would range from 1 to 11🤣

Entertaining a 19 month old in the winter?

It’s too cold where we are to go outside (she hates being bundled up cause she can’t move and the snow is too high) and we can’t figure out what to do that doesn’t cost $80 in tickets for someone who doesn’t do most of the activities (science centre etc). She’s not into sensory bins yet, and obviously gets bored w...

Recommendations

Recommendations for baby shows , he’s about two months and I’ve been noticing him watch the tv more , what are some shows y’all’s babies watch or you watched as a child that might be entertaining, I know he’s not really “watching” it and it’s more the colors but maybe he’ll end up finding one he prefers

Toddler Jobs

My son has started to show an interest in wanting to help with things at home. He has a regular reward chart and I wondered what kind of chores would be appropriate for this age? So far I've got things like putting his dirty clothes in the laundry basket and helping feed the dog.
