[quote=Anonymous]Take it from someone who has been flying 3-4 times a year for the last 3 years since DD was a young baby: Don’t do it unless you really want to and not just from guilt.  There is too much Mom guilting!  Don’t succumb to it.  When did it become a requirement to fly with one’s baby/toddler anywhere?  What percent of kids under 5 have ever been on a plane?  It’s totally fine for you not to visit the grandparents, let alone without DH, while your son is at a difficult stage.  I’m a frequent flier and have taken four round trips with three year old DD in the last five months, three of those cross-country and a couple of those flights just us two, and next month we will be taking a 12 hour flight but not alone.  She is “easy” right now so I don’t mind flying with her, but at 17 months, I took a two hour flight with her without another adult and refused to do it again until she was 2.5.  As to when your son will be easier to fly with, it really depends on the kid. I don’t think 20 months will be really different from 17, at 2.5, he could be better or going through his terrible twos. In any case, don’t feel pressured to travel with him, especially without DH’s help, until you are fine and ready![/quote]
