A cold splash of water from the sippy cup can douse the fuzzy feeling that comes with travel. From lugging strollers to suffering through scowls of fellow passengers, Shivani Tibrewala gives words to just another day in the life of a parent flying with a toddler.
Remember those days when you could swing your meagre belongings into a backpack and trudge off into the great unknown without a care in the world? Foot-tapping to latest chartbusters, lounging at the airport terminal, checking out attractive members of the opposite sex?
Fast forward to today: You are pushing a suitcase-laden trolley with one hand, an empty baby stroller with the other, fixing a broken helicopter and mixing a bowl of Cerelac with your third, while your fourth is trying to hold on to your one-year-old who has recently discovered how to run, mostly in directions away from you, and no matter how great the temptation, you can’t allow him to. (Can you? It’s not like anyone would know you lost him on purpose...) In the midst of all this, you wonder why you never learnt to balance a beer mug on your foot.
