Mom & Toddler Booted Off Plane

[RICHARD]

We certainly learned to steer clear of the kids from St. Pat's, because they understood that MIGHT MAKES RIGHT, and if you were smaller, you were fair game.

Catholics have crotches too. A well aimed kick or punch works on any religion.

Oh, sure! But (despite being Catholic) we weren't sent to the Catholic school, so we just went with our upbringing: fighting breeds fighting, avoid when possible, run & tell teacher, maintain the high ground - all that out-of-date stuff that sounds like it's from outer space these days. It's served me well emotionally, but I will admit to being rather - erm - financially challenged! However, people GIVE me stuff all the time, so it's worked out pretty well for me.

(You can give me stuff too if you want! But it would be majorly cool if you'd give my neighbors stuff instead.)

Love, Columbine

Geraldo had the mom, dad and the spawn on his show.

The interview starts.

Child is eating jelly beans on mom's lap.

G asks the mom some question, then asks the dad, "what did you think when your wife told you what happened?"

Dad: "What did you do now?"

Hmmmmmmm....

Jelly beans run out.

Kid starts to squirm. Mom passes kid off to dad, who is holding a book in his hand, probably to calm the kid down.

Geraldo is laughing at the kid's antics and asks the cameraman to get shots of the 'spawn' in action.

The last shot I saw was of the dad still sitting down in his chair, holding on to the monster's arm, to keep him from running off.

And????


So where is the part where the kid is being bad? As far as I can tell the child is being a 2 year old. I am with you on the whole punishment thing.... but you wouldn't get a puppy and expect it to not be a puppy would you? Or a kitten and expect it not to be a kitten? you cannot expect a 2 year old to amuse himself all the time. I think seeing the child on an adult talk show is a poor way to judge the childs behaviour and I highly doubt that even with your mothers stern punishment that you were never fidgety at that age. So you stick a kid on an adult show where NO ONE is talking to him, he has NOTHING to do, and expect him to sit perfectly still and quiet? HAHAHAHAHAHA I don't even have kids yet and I know that's a pipe dream lol.

From what you say the child was not screaming, yelling, throwing a tantrum etc etc. he was being squirmy and didn't want to sit still any longer without something to keep him entertained.... pretty normal 2 year old behaviour and no amount of spanking, yelling, or other punishment is going to make a 2 year old sit still without ANYTHING for him to keep his curious mind occupied.

Heck.... most adults can't sit still without something to keep them occupied lol

Hmmm, I didn't mention bad. I did say the kid was spawn tho!

Maybe it's the way I have been raised. I hate to bring race and animals into this.

Raised in a Mexican family we were brought up to sit quietly, behave and not heard-I cannot tell you how many people commented my mother on having a 'conga line' of well behaved twerps following her. At that time I didn't think anything about it. But. I am sure glad my mom didn't mollycoddle any of us and I am glad she was a believer of corporal punishment.

It is possible to have a 2 year old sit quietly, It just depends on what you put in your pipe.


To this day I don't have to sit on a lap, eat jelly beans and squirm until my dad has to hold on to me to keep me from running off.

The Dog Whisperer has touched on a very interesting method in his dog training. Dogs pick up on the excitement/stress of the owners. I have been able to rein in my brothers dogs by not getting all jacked up when they get antsy.

First of all, a two year old is old enough to be sitting in his own chair, quietly.

This frigging yo-yo was probably jacking up the kid days before the trip.

WE ARE GOING BYE BYE ON THE PLANE, BYE BYE ON THE PLANE, BYE BYE ON THE PLANE!

Then,

ON TV, WE ARE GOING ON T.V.!, WE ARE GOING ON T.V.!, WE ARE GOING ON T.V.!

Just like Cesar Milan and his dog training methods -Dogs pick up the stress and nerves of their owners, Ergo, Kids pick up on the stupidity of their parents.

Oh, The Yo-Yo wants two more kids.

I memorized her face, so it I ever get stuck on an airplane with that AH, I'll save the F.A. the pain of telling her kid to shut up-


I'll do it myself.

Amen to that, Richard! I was shopping in Michaels one time and you could hear this kid screaming all over the store. Mother and grandmother were with him. He was about 2 1/2 years old. I approached them and mentioned the screaming. Mother starts whining about him being "just a baby" and all. I told her that he was plenty old enough to know how to behave indoors and that if he wasn't, one of them could have taken him outside so that the rest of us could shop in peace. Funny how they say it takes a village to raise a child but only want to apply that when it suits them.

Hot glue gun and some twine.

Are you channelling Hillary Clinton?

I need to qualify a statement.

Mexican parents are usually Catholic.
Most of them have a crap load of kids.

When that happens the good ones teach their kids to be well behaved.

Why?

Can you imagine chasing after 6 misbehaving kids?

wow, I couldn't agree more. well put

[caseysmom]

But what is the cost of getting the crap beaten out of you so you will shut up? Will you grow up to be an angry old grouch that calls children monsters?

From my experience, any negative reaction at all to children makes people monsters. And for the record, I've praised both parents and their kids when I've seen them behaving nicely. I tell them it's a pleasure because it is so rare these days.

but children are monsters!

LOL, I have been thinking this same thought for days! Give me a typical two year old, which develops into a lovely person, tolerant of others any day!

Solemn little obedient robot-kids give me the creeps. Are they drugged? Cowed? Counting the years until they can get their hands on a weapon? (That's the ultimate logical sequel of Might Makes Right - It's All In The Hardware.) Spoiled shrieklings drive me nuts, but the ones who've Learned Their Lesson out-and-out scare me.

Love, Columbine

At the end of the day she chose a career which would involve people of all ages, If this is a true story the stewardess needs to grow up and change her job because she obviously cant hack it.
