Man I was stressing just reading the story. Glad you survived the ordeal and the family good. It's important as a man to expose your kids to travel and other experiences but that shyt comes at such a high cost
My boys are absolute troopers when it comes to travel and I couldn't be more grateful. Had a midnight stop over in El Salvador, before arriving in Costa Rica at like 2AM during our last vacation. My 5 year old woke up quietly and calmly proceeded over to customs. While waiting in line, there was a little cac boy around my kids age/size and this motherfukker was blaring like a banshee. I'm talking kicking and screaming at the top of his lungs while his parents literally dragged him on the floor.
I look down at my kid whose looking confused at this other kids action. I explain to him that not everyone is good at managing stress as he is, and I told him how proud I was of him and thanked him for making the trip a breeze. He thanked me in return for bringing him and told me how excited he was to see the beaches
@Hathaway stay patient breh. You'll have plenty of amazing memories with your boys.
