You had an opprotunity to console her, you just didn't DO it. Please.

Pressure changes can be dealt with by chewing gum, sucking a lollipop.
I have an 8 year old, and she KNOWS better, but when she flies, I am sure to pack her a goodie bag of stuff to do and play with so that she gets in her seat, next to her dad and is a model passenger.

GTFOOHWTM!!

Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for flying "Homegirl" Airlines. Your pilot today is Nikki1920, who, as you can see is hardcore 'wit hers. Now sit your azzes back and prepare to take off. That is as soon as you kick in some gas money to the flight attendants coming down the aisle.

Thank you again for flying HomegirlAirlines, where our motto is: "You ain't pay but $99 for the dayum ticket. Stop asking me what time the plane gon get there. We'll be there when we get there."

I think this is about the best post I've read all week.

Hayle no they should have NOT been offered a free flight.

My husband was telling me that on one of his last business trip flights, he got stuck on a flight from Montreal to Vancouver with a squalling brat that was kicking the back of his seat. he was irritated but didn't feel like he could do anything. GTFOOHWTM!!

Shhheeeeee! PUH-leeze.

I told him that he was LUCKY that I wasn't on that flight. I would have gotten straight gangsta on a parent!

Parents, when your kid acts a fool on the plane...ya know what to do...

there are lavatories in the front and back of the plane...use them!

Guess what? You ain't even gotta leave your seat! As the old commercial used to say "just a pinch between the "cheek" and gum. . .

I love it how the parents are acting offended about this. I once delayed a flight by nearly an hour when I was three and my mom was mortified. That should be the normal parental reaction, not blaming the airline.

You'd think so, right?

I've been on flights before where parents had a difficult time getting their kids to calm down. Most of the parents I saw were very apologetic to the other passengers when their kids threw tantrums.

We already got the kid throwing a tantrum. We sure don't need the parents to throw one too.

I love him!!!!!!!!!!!!!


And I am not hardcore, I am a FINER WOMAN, through and through.

ETA: Children's church is a wonderful thing. We have one of those "I'll make noise b/c the preacher is talking" babies, and her mom is CLUELESS. Take your child to Children's church (we have monitors in the baby room) or out in the foyer so the rest of us can hear The Word in relative quiet. Have a little consideration. Bring a coloring book or some quiet toys or SOMETHIN!!! That's a pet peeve of mine. Only had to take my child out ONCE. She knows better now. If she gets bored or restless, she goes to sleep.







but Mommy don't play that "Imma act out in public b/c she won't do anything" mess. I can find a bathroom or a secluded corner with my Mommy-vision, handle bidness (yeah, BIDNESS!!) and keep it moving. shiddddddd. lol

[Luckie1922]

GOOD! I can’t stand when people take their whining kids places knowing that the child behavior will disturb others.

Movies
Church
Class/School
To my house

Luckie love the kids but dang! I am glad a company took some action.

CTFU!

I have no kids, so I can't relate but I am taking notes. I always wonder why it seems like most parents today are afraid of their children?

I went to a restaurant with my bf and a few friends of his. One friend brought his two kids, who spent 30 minutes crawling on the floor under the table or literally SITTING on their father (big ass 7 year old) whining, whining, whining the whole time.... I wanted to find him a switch.

I started a conversation about how great beatings were *hint, hint* and how every kid needs a whoopin at least once in a while- the way I figure it, if you as a parent don't do it now, life, or someone who will not put up with their snotty attitudes, will do it later. ALL the adults at the table (except the dad) agreed with me. The kids got a little more quiet after that, lol.

The funniest thing? The guy and his ex-wife are both therapists, with two of the most messed-up, badly behaved children I have eeeever seen.

People want to be friends with their kids, which IMO, is not the best approach to take when they are still kids. My mom and I are friends NOW, but I'm 30, out of the house and have a child. She taught me that parents are to be feared (to an extent) and respected. "I'm your MOTHER, not your FRIEND" was something I heard when I thought I was grown.

People also don't want to be seen in public as being mean to their kids. Negro, please. I took my daughter out to dinner as an early Christmas gift, and the child across the aisle from us was yelling, climbing on the booth, cursing (muthaf***er, repeatedly), and his mother and grandmother were just talking like NOTHING was going on. My daughter looked at him and was like, "Mommy, he is a baaad boy. He needs a spanking. That is not how you are supposed to act when you go out." and shook her head. Lesson learned.

If its a friend of mine, I'll tell the kid to use your indoor voice or what have you. If THAT doesnt work, they get the Mommy look. That works.

I mean, parenting should not be rocket science.

[lovelyivy84]

I just won't be around those kids- the dad is not MY friend (he seems nice, but too much crazy in the kids for me to really trust) and I have no obligation to provide those kids with the home training their parents aren't providing.

I just stay far away.

I am 27 and I STILL have some residual fear of my Mother, lol. I respect her for all she did for me, including disciplining me when I needed it.

I find badass kids funny. Anyone watch Nanny 911? Of course it is not funny when they're your kids.

I'm 32 and I'm still scared of mine! When she calls my name, you better believe I respond with a "yes ma'am".

[SummerChild]

Ok, so am I the only one that doesn't mind telling other people's kids how to act - in front of the parents? I will tell a child that is kicking me in the seat on a plane to stop kicking me in a second...in front of the parent. Never had a problem b/c the parents are usually embarassed and don't try to defend that foolishness.

Shoot, I had to tell this young boy of about 12 or 13 to say excuse me when he kept reaching over my food to get napkins at the checkout line at the movies last week. It's not my fault - his Mother should have trained him. I figure if she won't do it, I will b/c I don't want him just out there not knowing how to conduct himself.

Am I the only one training other people's kids? LOL.
