  • Airport and airline dependent. I’ve waited an hour and a half to check my car seat for a budget airline.

    TSA are equal opportunity haters and don’t care if you got to the airport two hours ago and your flight is in 30 minutes. They tell you to get in their line 2 hours before your flight and by god sometimes they are gonna make you wait two hours.

    Edit: oh yeah also waited an hour becuase my budget airline wouldn’t let me print boarding passes and said “see agent” but didn’t staff any agents. Turns out they want to make sure your one year old is actually a baby and you’re not just a cheapskate trying to hold a twelve year old in your lap.











  • I don’t post my children either, but this little girl has an obvious and non hidden difference. It looks like she doesn’t have eyeballs.

    So you’re a parent, first obligation to your child. But even inside that world there are some competing pulls:

    1. You want to build her a more accepting world. There is a perception that different physical appearances need to be covered up or hidden or not displayed. This can make people less accepting becuase they encounter it less often. If I’m her parent I want to normalize people showing off these differences so she is more accepted.

    2.You don’t her to ever think you’re ashamed of her. Many parents post often and loudly. It’s a concern that she could get a negative perception of this privacy as she gets older.
