She cries a lot and ...

Booked seats - 2 adults with a 1 year old

I'm terrified of not booking seats and ending up split from my partner and having our 1 year old on my lap to entertain alone for a long flight - Is this likely to happen or will they keep us together? I'll take the cost if I have to but could do with saving the money 🤣 Thank you!

What would you put here?

Vacation or staycation?

Which do you prefer? (family with young kiddos here!) Husband took a week off of work with zero plans and it was awesome! We got nothing done around the house but we just did what we wanted and enjoyed family time! Now the kids are wanting him nonstop rather than me being default parent so we’ll be sad when he goes...
