No kids on a plane - period!
No kids in movie theaters - period!
Don’t get me started.
I’m with you and with Ivana.
I’m a mom. Just flew a 10 hour flight from Italy to NY with screaming kids. Why can’t parents teach their kids manners? Or better yet, don’t fly with babies or young children until they are old enough to be quiet and not disrupt others. WHY should PAYING passengers have to listen to SCREAMING children for 10 hours while confined to an airplane? Why do parents have more rights than other passengers? Why? I taught my children manners. A few months ago on a Southwest flight, an unruly child and her mother were removed for this very reason. Common sense should govern here. The rights of a few should not supercede the majority of the paying passengers on the flight. SHUT UP or get off.
Guilty? You’re kidding. You don’t think that’s a photo of a beautiful woman? Wow, your standards certainly are high, or at least different.
Since when does the plane start to taxi toward the runway when there are people out of their seats?
>”Wow, your standards certainly are high, or at least different.”
Might be. I tend to take alot of the “Beotch factor” into account. A pretty woman is of no use if you cant stand to be around her. lol
Screaming I can put up with, to a point—after awhile the Robitussin should kick in and Little Miss Monster should not off. But allowing kids to run around in an aircraft while it’s taxiing is a complete violation of any safety rules I ever heard of; it’s dangerous to the children, and I can’t imagine what airline personnel were thinking. The plane shouldn’t have moved until those kids were in their seats and tied down.
My kids always behaved pretty well on flights, but sometimes screaming is unavoidable. When my daughter was a year and a half old and we were on a long flight she developed an ear infection, and it manifested itself as the plane changed altitude. She was in terrific pain and tried very hard not to shriek, but during the final descent she lost it entirely and it sounded like a tornado warning. I felt sorry for the other passengers, and there was little I could do except comfort her and beg her to keep it down.
:-). Can’t say I disagree.
It’s hard to imagine that she wouldn’t be spoiled, demanding, and tough, after a background like hers.I certainly wouldn’t want to work with or for her. But I always liked Ivana for being one of the few people who would and did regularly tell Donald Trump where to shove it. I give her points for an incident at Aspen when she was skiing backwards in front of Donald while he was awkwardly skiing forwards, meanwhile lecturing him on his near-innumerable shortcomings as a human being and father.
My wife had the same thing with our daughter when she was 1 1/2 years old......Just as background, my wife and daughter flew almost every month since the baby was born without incident. In fact, most people went out of their way to comment what a beautiful and well behaved baby she was.....
All of our children are extremely well behaved in public but when a 1 1/2 year old starts crying, sometimes there is little to do but hold them and comfort them.....
We won’t allow our children cry or cause a disturbance in resturaunts or other public venues, and if they start, we pick them up and whisk them outside until they calm down.
My wife who was very nicely dressed with impecable makeup, was in tears most of the flight because she couldn’t console my daughter and have her stop crying.
This beautiful, impecably dressed woman got off the flight with her clothes askew, covered in baby drool, snot and spitup with her makeup running down her face from tears and hair almost standing on end.....
They didn’t fly again for six months.....all was good after that.....
Ivana is little more than a high priced prostitute. 4 rich husbands notched on her belt.
I see little difference between her and any comfort worker at the Chicken Ranch ,except there the price is cheaper and you dont have to listen to any crap.
We used to call that good parenting
LOL! I'll help you.......
A bunch of years ago I was on a ski trip to Lake Tahoe and while having dinner one night with my friends, 3 couples who had just finished eating were allowing their children to run around the restaurant like little banshees.
I suddenly stood up and yelled at the kids to get their asses back to their table and sit down and shut up. Talk about stunned! They immediately ran back to their table, sat down then the whole party of them got up and left without saying a word..........LOL!
There is a lot of plastic inside that woman...I’d have done it if I had her money also.....I will sign myself wrinkled old lady...AKA GG

Yes. Being on a commercial flight, even in First Class, must be a big let-down for someone used to spending her adult life
in private aircraft. Now, where’s that tiny violin...?
Why on earth were kids running up and down the aisle when the plane was taxiing??? The parents are at fault but so are the attendants for not enforcing basic safety rules.
OR - was that just her excuse? Are there eyewitnesses who can verify that children were running wild? Was this in first class, because I can’t imagine her flying coach and that’s where the long aisles are.
I’d almost have to ask if she’d been drinking because in all the years she’s been A Name, I’ve never heard reports of bad behavior from her. It sounds a little out of character for her.
That is all...
Doubt very much that the plane was moving and kids were not strapped into their seats. That would be against FAA regulations. Plus, how do kids run up and down an aisle while passengers are loading anyway? Description sounds a bit specious...and she was probably in Queen Ivana mode (think “Ma’am” Barbara Boxer).
