If you really want to prioritize family then take the first upgrade available. Seniority is the name of the game and for every month you diddle around you are going to be behind about 80 additional people at your ultimate destination, where you’ll be for almost 20 years. Unless there is some compelling family event you absolutely HAVE to delay for, don’t defer an upgrade.
and trust me, even the CR@PPIEST reserve schedule is INFINITELY better than the best unaccompanied tour you ever did.
