      Pst… Don’t tell… but, small kids, small problems. ;)

      I’d rather change a hundred diapers and bootlefeed in the middle of night than having to worry about if they made it safe home after a night out.

      No, man… Appreciate the simplicity. Enjoy the sound of little feet walking little steps on the floor. It’ll be gone before you realise that you need to spend even more time trying to find something on the TV that both you and your better half want to watch at the same time…

      Kids are great.

        I’m currently at the “small problems” stage, and I’m trying not to take anything for granted. Yeah, I’m mildly sleep deprived, but life is great.

        worry about if they made it safe home after a night out.

        That’s why you beat some sense into them before they go out. /s

    Why do they ask for that information anyway? So they know to capture you alive when you got a job that’s in demand in the destination country? Or do they hope to catch terrorists by fishing for ‘bomb builder’?

      It really feels like some by-gone form field so many just keep putting on there because it’s always been there.

      So many places, including doctor practices, ask for this (in Australia), and you’re just left feeling, why?? This is useless information that they don’t need to know.

      For tax, home loans, etc, sure, that’s relevant information.

        A doctor has a reasonal interest in your occupation. For office workers they’ll know to expect back issues and may nudge you towards preventive measures, for instance.

    I interpreted the instructions to mean put “Not Employed” in the box, but they were ambiguous at best.

    I’m just sus on if she’s trynna get that baby on a plane.

    Don’t bring babies on planes, it’ll upset the baby worse than anything and leave the entire rest of the cabin only slightly less so.

        Honestly, publicly accessible HSR would be a dope way to travel with little ones, just flip the TV on and lock the door to the sleeper car room whenever you need to take a break from the railcation and get food or something.

        Family carriages can even have a diaper dispenser and changing station in the room!
