SS, it's a bit like pushing a baby out of your body: you quickly forget how horrible it was. But my husband said he kept the Gmail chats so if I ever contemplated going back, he'd shove'em in my face. I am happy you're home! How was the flight back?
(Elisabeth has made a turnaround: in the creche she's in the bigger group... she eats BY HERSELF and ALL OF HER VEGGIES. clearly it's a mommy/control issue. hah)

We got here to France ok, little one and middle one slept on the overseas flight, bigger one didn't but she's doing well. And hey it's Paris.

There was a mean woman on our first flight though, seated a row ahead of us, who complained about our 2 yr old's "squeaky voice" (a fair assessment but wtf she's 2), put in earplugs, and then glared at us every time our daughter opened her mouth, which was a lot. At one point the mean woman got passive aggressivisimo and said in a very loud voice to the woman she was traveling with, "why doesn't she make her use her inside voice", about my wife, and then added, "I'm a mother" to explain why she could speak with such confident authority. My silent reply: yes, you are a mother. I felt better when the mean woman went on to yell at the woman she was riding with, too, and ended up feeling sorry for her evidently shitty life.

Man, one thing I always hate about travel but especially about travelling with kids is all the extra pre-trip expenses that you never think of, i.e. all the crap you realize you have to buy, or don't really have to buy but buy anyway out of anxiety
