disappointing

I am disappointed and disturbed by the responses in here. Our first child a 21 month year old daughter will be flying with us from Israel to the USA via Toronto. Our tickets were $1660 a piece and so my daughter's was $166. I heard some people said a few dollars well I don't know what kind of budget everyone in here is living on but $1500 is not a few dollars. For a large part of this world $1500 is a decent monthly salary. We just cannot afford it. Yes we know it will be hard and yes we know our daughter will probably disturb many people on the plane (including us) but unfortunately although we will be very embarrassed we have no choice. We live in Israel and for 99% of my family (which all live in the USA) this will be the first and perhaps only time that they will be able to see her. On top of this the main reason being a wedding of my mothers only sibling who has only one child. I think you all should think twice before passing judgement.
