[quote=Anonymous]I'm having anxiety about traveling with my young kids and I need someone to tell me I'm not crazy! 
 both our families live in one city (our hometown) but we live in a different city that we moved to for my husbands work. we now have a 2.5 year old and five week old. This week we had to go back to our hometown for a family medical emergency (MIL had a heart attack). I'm really hating being here out of our own kid friendly space - we have to rent a car, rent a Snoo, I have nowhere to bath the baby, there's no food at my in laws house so we have to rush to the shops, etc. my husband doesn't think it's stressful and is happy to stay here another week.

it's so hard because I want to visit our hometown when things like this happen and keep in touch with my old friends, my family etc. but it feels like too much stress to be worth it when I have to bring the kids along and parent in a new environment.

Has anyone else been in this situation where they live away from their hometown and have to travel back with young kids? Did you just not visit until the kids were older or did you suck it up and make the trip even though it was difficult?

It makes me sad because I want my kids to see their aunties, cousins etc but it takes such a toll on me to travel back and forth. [/quote]
