Am I mad

Posting here for traffic

I think I may have gone mad partly because I thought booking a holiday with a teen, a toddler with a loud voice and a newborn who will be 3months at time of flight on holiday to Spain

Any life saving products or tips to help me survive what I thought might be a fun relaxing holiday (laugh with me now), and tips re flights would be good. I realise my family is basically everyone's worst nightmare to be sat next to on a flight so this will be fun.

Never done this before and I can't think why 😵‍💫😵‍💫 help !

Has the baby got a passport? If that's sorted I'd say it'll be fine!

Yes got baby passport.

It's more my fear of taking screaming baby on a plane and being hated

You wont be the first and you wont be the last, you are entitled to a holiday.

No tips sorry ( just glad I'm not on that flight 😁 )

I wouldn't mind sitting next to you on a plane. It's only a 2 hour flight and babies and toddlers will be just that!

Are you travelling alone?

Tips for holiday - try and stick to normal routine. So breakfast swim lunch and nap. If you can walk and get them napping in buggy then you can allow teen to do an activity on beach or something whilst you watch. Or stop at beach for a nice drink at a cafe.

Teens often group up if you in a busy family hotel. I'd try and negotiate them being allowed freedom and expectations of them being with you for some mealtimes etc.

Well a teen is likely to sit quietly with headphones on a flight so no issues there. For toddler download lots of their favourite shows onto an iPad (with headphones of course), plus lots of snacks and as for baby anyone that has an issue with such a young baby crying is a tool and I say that as someone currently posting about my hatred of people noise on another thread!
