I live in Norway. It's my constitutional right to have 5 weeks of paid holiday a year (excluding public holidays) whether or not I have children. Driving isn't viable as it would take several days just to get to a ferry that leaves Norway. Crying children are a part of flying, get used to it.

Doesn't mean you have to fly somewhere for a simple holiday.

Yes I could drive a day and go camping in northern Scandinavia and get eaten alive by mosquitoes the size of sparrow hawks.

Could you? Then we can find that child a better parent.

Children* they enjoy their holidays in Spain.

It’s a baby, baby don’t know, baby don’t care. YOU want time in Spain. Ffs

No I fucking hate the sun. If I enjoyed the beach, I wouldn't live in Norway.

This broke me. You win. Lol. Best answer.

You can have holidays in the same country that you live you know... Since you have a small child, it would be best to take care of him, instead of flying around in planes

[–] Colour_me_triggered@lemm.ee 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

A couple of hours in a plane is less stressful for a toddler than several days in a car seat I assure you.

Probably yeah, but also less stressful would be to plan your exotic seaside resort vacation in two years, when the little spawn of satan is not prone to crying for reasons classified.
