Very hesitant....PLEASE help!!?
I was invited to go to Arizona with my 'real' dad and step mom to visit with family. I live in Ohio with my family and my real dad and step mom live in Wisconsin. In order for me to go with them, I'll either fly out of Dayton, OH or drive to Tomah, WI to fly with them. I am not comfortable driving 9 hours to their house, with my one yr. old son, alone. I am also not comfortable flying from Dayton to Tucson, AZ. to meet my parents there and then proceed to visit with our family, alone with my one yr. old son. My brother has also been invited to go but he has not made up his mind about going. If he does go, we'll be going together (flying) which would ease my mind, some. Furthermore, in order for me to go to AZ and to bring my son, I would also have to bring his car seat, stroller and pack-n-play. I'm not so sure I want to bring all of that stuff on a plane simply because it's a lot of extra baggage and I'm so afraid it will be stolen or lost. Also, I've never flown by myself before, let alone with a one year old. As a matter of fact, I've never been on a plane where I've ever noticed a small child. How do people react when they see a small child on a plane? What do I do if my son starts to act out and I'm having a hard time getting him to calm down? All I can think about is the incident with the toddler that kept saying "bye bye airplane" and the flight attendant got verbal with them. Any advice you have or suggestions about flying with a toddler would be very much appreciated....I'm so hesitant to fly but I really want to go and see my family (I have never been to AZ and haven't met half of my family that lives there).

Just remember: the more stressed you get the more stressed your baby will get. Don't worry about what everybody else on the plane thinks. F&*k them all!!!! If baby gets antsy, you have to stay calm or it will get worse. Yeah, that is a lot of luggage to bring with you for a vacation. Maybe somebody in dads family will have some of the things that you will need, so won't have to bring them all. OR, maybe there's some place that lets you 'borrow' stuff, on short term basis. Good Luck Happy visiting
