Screaming 3 year old gets parents free airline tickets!

[Lady's Human]

So does this mean we can fly to FLA with the kids, get on the plane with a non-napping 2 1/2 y/o and get free tickets?

Damn, and to think all this time I was doing the wrong thing by trying to do the right thing and be a responsible parent.

I had a 3 year old, once upon a time. She threw one, unforgettable fit, at 3 years old, and thankfully not on an airplane, but in a restaurant and I thought I would die before I finally got her out of there. That fiesty girl had a sip of something with caffeine and it set her off and she wrapped her legs around the high chair and I almost took her out of the restaurant in the chair!

If I had been those parents, I would have been so relieved that I got off of the plane. I could not have stood the embarrasement of an irrational child.

My "baby", who threw that fit, at 3 years old, will turn 16 years old on Monday. She throws different kinds of fits these days, and rarely, too, thank goodness. She and I don't get mad at each other, we just get frustrated sometime! LOL!!!

Logan: Once, when my sister was about four, my mom took us out riding our bikes. At one point my sister decided to stop her bike in the middle of the street!! As the light changed, all the drivers were glaring at my mom who grabbed my sister's bike and hauled her kicking and screaming out of the street. That was the end of that adventure. -_-

My mom had six of us little AH.s..

After KNOWING what was in store for us when we were out of the public eye, it only took a glance from her to know that IF WE DIDN'T behave, the only way out of it was to have the booming voice of god tell her not to strike us.

And lo, we returneth to normal children, withoutest any attitude.

I love to watch kids tossing a tantrum look a parent right in the eye (After the parent threatens the "time out") with the EFF YOU, YOUR WORDS DON'T CARRY ANY WEIGHT look..

Makes me want to get an autograph before I see them on the news for some heinous crime they commit when they get older.

The mother was an AH that did all the talking while daddy stood off to the side and smiled in the interview.

They should have tossed the kid in the overhead bin and made the mom go with the luggage.

NExct time they should go to AVIS-two days driving with that little twerp will teach them.

AMEN RICHARD!!!

RICHARD,

It's referred to as "THE LOOK". My parents had one too. Believe me when I tell you, my parents could take us ANYWHERE, ANYTIME. God help us should we get out of line. Of course, back in THOSE days, there was no such thing as the "non-spank" law (did anyone see that new law in effect in California, I think?? It's now against the law to spank a kid 4 and under. )

Why can't airlines have special flights for parents with small children?? Then they can all get together, whine and let their kids run up and down the isles, wreaking havoc, without pissing off the other passengers??? *sigh* This is the one time I'm glad my kid is 30!!

*lol* love that idea! I think they'd have to pay the flight attendants triple-danger-pay or something though - i know i certainly wouldn't want to be servicing that flight!

Another suggestion would be to install a "soundproof" section in the back of the plane. They can run, jump, scream all they want and the people in the FRONT of the plane wouldn't have a clue as to what was happening. Of course, the parents would have to pay MORE, but ah, it'd be well worth it!!

I endured a 2 hours flight in front of a little &^%@# crumbsnatcher who kicked my seat the whole way. The parents did absolutely NOTHING!!

I had a look I gave mine in public and they understood what that look meant.. SIT DOWN! SHUT UP! BEHAVE!... they knew I would not hesitate to take them outside and make them wish they had behaved!

How anyone else raises their kids are their own business..... until they go in public! This may be the first time they have had to suffer the consequences of that childs actions but I bet you it won't be the last..

IS that a chapter in the Mom's Guide to Intimidation book???
