I've had the pleasure of sitting next to a morbidly obese grandmother traveling with her 18 mo. old grandson, who she intended to hold in her LAP for the flight! SHE HAD NO LAP!
He climbed up onto MY lap. I don't care for kids, but I wasn't going to be a B, and it was a relatively short flight from Miami to Atlanta. IMMEDIATELY after takeoff, he pooped his pants, so I had the pleasure of smelling THAT all the way to Atlanta as he wiggled around and made it into a pancake. Keep in mind, this kid and his grandmother were total STRANGERS to me and my hubby and I were on our way back from our HONEYMOON.
But apparently felt enough pain that she remembered that pain prior to takeoff? Wonder why she didn't scream on the way down?
Ewwwww, apparently grannie had not brought along a diaper change.
I will end with this then. I hope you are never on a flight where something happens to you and the other passengers request you be kicked off of the flight.
Years ago I was with a group at Shoney's and there was a group of parents having a night out with their kids and their hellions were running ALL OVER the restaurant. The parents were totally ignoring them. FInally, one of their little darlings who looked to be 5 or 6, took a hot pot of coffee (about 1/4 full) from the waitress station and was walking around offering to fill customer's cups. The waitress grabbed the pot and child, took her to the table and raised HELL at the parents, who got P.O.'d at the waitress for making a scene! Our group thanked the waitress afterward.
The odds of that happening are rather slim unless I have a medical emergency. At that point I would be glad to be "kick off" the flight.
Whadaya know? Benadryl is what Xena's Guy uses to calm me down before flying, at least when it's too early to countenance ordering me a big cocktail.
That's a rude but very funny reply.
However, we're hostile toward the specific child whose misbehavior is infringing on our ear space right then, and whose parents are clearly doing nothing to stop the acting up.
And all God's children said, "Amen".
Thanks :<)
You don't get a script for Benadryl.
That's flatulation BTW :<)
No.
My mom and I went out to an Italian restaurant and were seated in a booth and ordered our pizza when in walks a loud hoard of two families with children. We looked at each other and rolled our eyes.
They sat the families right across from us at tables. Right away the kids were yelling and being bratty. The restaurant was full so we couldn't ask to be seated somewhere else.
I was talking as loud as I could to my mom and she couldn't hear me over the boisterous kids.
We both had enough and asked our waitress to box our pizza to go. We went back to my house to eat in peace and quiet.
My siblings and I were never, ever allowed to act like little animals in public. That includes restaurants, grocery store, department store, etc. It simply wasn't allowed.
I'm amazed that the rotten behavior of some children won't even faze some parents one bit.
And that's my brother!
Then you have not in fact been there, done that. Your child may have been there, but what you did was something, not the "done [nothing] that" that you witnessed.
For which, I'd add, I would have applauded you. I'm waaaay over the "Now, we need to settle down and let's think about it" tripe that passes for parenting these days.
