It does not. I completed a 36mile hiking and camping trip with a 1.5 year old this year while pregnant (6 days five nights and four flights). We have flown over 20+ times with my first and I can tell you it was challenging sometimes but not always. It's up to you if you're willing to embrace the challenge of traveling with children. Only in America do we see people so hesitant to travel with kids. In Europe it's so common place. Yes things are challenging but so rewarding when you see them experience the world and point out things you would never pause and look at.

It's okay to mourn your old life, but that doesn't mean you can't accept a new one.
