OK to travel with young ones?
I've learned that a NYC mom's chat group -- not public -- have discussed my recent post of traveling with my four-month-old daughter. Some angrily discussed it. Suggesting that there's too early an age to go on the road. That it's selfish. That there's no point if they don't remember it.
I think that's ultimately the decision of each parent, but I have no reason to believe that there's too early an age to go and see new places and spend time with the family unit. We've refrained from doing 14-hour flights, and I'm not sure I really would want to put my daughter (or my wife and I) through that. We might.
But I CAN say that seeing my daughter kick and laugh as a parade passed her in Philadelphia -- a relatively easy three-hour drive away -- was well worth the trip.
