Honey... where are the kids?

That's a good discussion. I am single and I have been living my lives in my own terms and the way I want to. But I have seen my sisters how their dreams and priorities change with time, with their children born! I think, kids are wonderful and they do take up major part of the day in the initial phase. but after that we must chase our dreams. Most couples get lost in those initial days and by the time the kid grows a little older their dreams get dormant, they get lethargic.

What is the resemblance of title of this discussion to the words you have shared with us? No, I have never visited anywhere with my kids because I am not married yet. When I will be marrying then I will take my kids with me to some adventurous place. This would definitely be a great experience for my kids. Thanks for sharing.

We travelled with my then 3 month-old daughter from India to the United States. Surprisingly she gave us no problem as she slept most part of the travel. Then my wife took her back to India when she was 1 and a half year and she wouldnt go without me. After much tantrum and persuation, my wife managed to put her on the plane but throughout the security check at all airport, she would throw a tantrum. That was a nightmare. But as she is growing older she enjoys travelling. And we recently took her to Disneyland and not only her, we too enjoyed it. Not only the rides and the place but the joy in my girl's eyes! Priceless!

We went everywhere with our daughter. The circus, parks, museums, restaurants, even movies(she mostly napped). etc. She is almost 6 now. We just had a baby boy. So things have slowed down a bit. When he is out of the sleep all the time mode we will be out adventuring again. We have taken him out. He is at this point not as interested as his big sister.

When our daughter was three months old we took her on a plane trip across the country to see her grandmother. We drove through two states and visited many relatives. She was unsettled at first until we bought her a little musical clown that we could hang on the side of the portable crib. We did many trips in the car when she was young. I would wrap her toys in bright paper and when she would get fussy, I would hand her a wrapped up toy and she would get so excited that she would settle down and play with it. Of course we got out and walked around a lot so that she would get exercise on the road. I guess our biggest adventure besides moving to different states for my husband's work was taking a cruise to the Caribbean for seven days when she was six. We took her snorkeling off of St. John's. All went well until she stuck her head in the water and realized there were "fishies" in the water. Her and her daddy loved walking the deck of the ship during the cruise and leaning into the wind at the front of the ship. To this day she talks about the baked Alaska that was served during the last evening meal. She loved it!

Hi LOTTER no i havent took them in any such adventourous place but now after reading t his i will surely do that.

I have a young lady friend here on myLot who travels with her child, and she goes everywhere. Some people are remarkable.

I have three sons and they run a muck every day they like to go swimming most of all I have to wait until they get old enough to take them to a really cool water park hey this is Florida.

In my current marriage we've not had the time with graduate school to go anywhere lol, save the zoo and Underwater Adventures. With my older children I took them by myself on a two week trip to visit my mom. Namaste-Anora
