Southwest kicks mom, cranky kid off flight

[KSUViolet06]

I once sat behind a kid on a direct flight to LAX (from Ohio).

He had to be at least 4 or 5 and he was having a complete meltdown, and would NOT stop KICKING MY SEAT.

I turned around and asked Mom to keep him from doing that.

She said "Oh, he's just cranky and hasn't had a nap yet" and just LET HIM keep doing it.

I was like WTF?

So I turned around and put my iPod ears back in hoping I could ignore him, but I just couldn't.

I pushed the button and mentioned it to the flight attendant. She tried to move me, but there weren't anymore seats, so she told me she'd speak to the woman about it.

The flight attendant asked her to keep her son from kicking the seat and she was FURIOUS. I heard her say that "My son has a RIGHT to be comfortable, we paid for this flight blah blah blah."

Sure, your kid has a right to be comfortable, but not while making ME uncomfortable. Sorry.
