If you cannot control your child before the plane takes off, what happens next? I was on a flight where a mother let her child run up and down an aisle the entire flight without supervision. This was an accident waiting to happen if there was any turbulence. The poor flight attendants were besides themselves as the mother had no control over the child. When it was time to land, this child refused to sit in it’s seat – age approx 3. The landing was delayed as the mother would not take a more assertive stance in getting the child seated. The poor passengers with connections were getting frantic. Finally I yelled to the mother to pick up the child and seat him. The other passengers got on board and pressured the mom enough to get the child in the seat finally. Bottom line: the airline spent additional fuel, the flight landed late, and passengers missed connections.

I’m with Amy! As a parent, I deeply resent having to put up with behavior from other people’s children that I didn’t accept from my own. I’ve seen too many parents tune out or simply ignore their children’t bad behavior, but considering the parents, what can we expect? Your screaming, kicking, bratty child is NOT cute and entertaining. Most people are just too polite to tell you that your kid’s a brat!
