[quote=Anonymous]Op, I get it 100% and I have a kid that has been described as "the best baby/kid traveler they have ever seen" as we are disembarking.  I agree that the age between 9 and 18 months is the worst. At 2.5, it's MILES MILES better; my son was an absolute pleasure on a recent trip back from Europe, and it was still REALLY hard to keep him entertained, fed, and occasionally napping.

So, if you feel like you need a break, for whatever reason (bad recent flight, stress over interacting with parents, etc.) give yourself permission to cancel. It's a sunk cost. Maybe you can call the airline and see if you can use the credit for a ticket for someone else (e.g. your parents) or if name changes are 100% not allowed. If you think about it as an economist (which I'm not but this makes me feel better...), it's a sunk cost, and now you have different preferences and constraints; life goes on.  Enjoy a staycation and know that your kid will get better at traveling as time goes on, and that every flight is different.[/quote]
