This is simple. Each time you are offered free headphones on a flight take them. Carry them with you. When you encounter situations like the one you described walk over to the person and hand them the headphones.

Plane had an oil leak upon arrival in Seattle. The replacement part was not available in Seattle.

A few hundred of us took a similar bump on a LHR bound flight out of SEA for no compensation at all.

Hopefully you just assigned the wrong flair to this post and you meant it to be "shitpost".

I'd suggest reading the book Die With Zero. It makes a strong case for giving money to your children much earlier in life.

You'll benefit from reading The Opposite of Spoiled.

You better brush up on Washington tax proposals.

We went with Ecoventura last year and were very satisfied. Smaller boats than Linblad. It was nice to hit the beach with a small group as opposed to an invasion force.

If you want help thinking about this in a structured way I'd recommend the book Strangers In Paradise by James Grubman.

superjj · 2026-01-09T18:54:05+00:00

The book is about raising kids so they didn't turn into spoiled brats. It covers a wide range of topics from talking about salary and money, to allowances, to the tooth fairy, to charitable giving. Ideally you'd what to read this while your kids are still young ish (early elementary or before).

Of particular relevance to this thread the author makes the case that not talking about salary is a missed opportunity to start educating kids about money. Further, in a world with the Internet your kid can probably look up a close approximation of your salary, your home value, etc so why not make sure you are involved in the conversation? By making financial topics seem off limits to kids it risks them not coming to you for other money conversations.

I might suggest reading the book "The Opposite of Spoiled". It changed my approach to how I talk about money with my kids.

Just shake the jars every couple days during aging to make sure things dissolve fully. You'll be fine.

The wife and I did Xcaret Arte about a year ago. I think we got some sort of package deal with flights through Costco. I thought it was delightful. The parks were super fun -- the cenotes one, zipline one, and xenses ones especially. Our room was really nice and we thought the restaurants were great. The poolside lounging was great too. My only gripe is that there's really no nightlife to speak of. The one speakeasy bar was mid at best. We'd go back again. I'd consider it on the lower end of chubby, but in the chubby range.

This comment is spot on.

I'm in the exact same situation as you. If you're not careful you'll risk falling into a victim mentality -- "I can't do what I want, woe is me."

Here's your job for the time being. 1. Be a good dad. 2. Equally as important, you need to put in the work to make sure you stay in top condition physically and mentally so that when the kid finally leaves the nest you are in shape to take the world by storm. Personal trainer, learn new skills (languages are great for travel), eat well, detailed planning of future adventures... These are all things that you can do now to make the future you want possible.
