Yup...
Sorry Liz having kids doesn't entitle you to disrupt everybody else....there was plenty of other well behaved kids on the flight but only one out of control brat.

:lol:
Trust me, mine were never out of control brats. :)
I know the kind you're talking about. They usually have parents who (1) are oblivious that the kids are even doing anything or (2) they are trying to quiet the kids but it's obvious the kids are not used to any discipline. :willy:
Was the entire flight that way?

Probably an half te flight, I cranked up the headphones but the kid did finally fall asleep. Turns out it was grandma returning the kid to it's parents.

And then there are the other kids..
The ones that normally behave well, and would never try acting that bad at home because they know they would get a smack on the butt.
But for some reason they know their Mom & Dad's hands are tied and they know the threats are not going anywhere.. :rofl:

I would just order a few overpriced drinks. If I handled it the way I would in Wal-Mart, I would be tasered.

They should make the kid buy two seats. Sheesh!

I'm sure the parents want the kid to quiet down more than you do ...

Where in Houston? And I have driven to Orlando, actually, Kennedy Space Center several times. Nice ride, a bit long, but nice.

Thank God for Bose headphones. :D
When I flew back from Dallas last month there was a screamer two rows back and to my right. The whole flight. Thank God for a tail wind that night.

It's epidemic! I consider a night out for dinner without encountering a screaming, misbehaving kid a real treat. However, I get that treat VERY seldom. What really pisses me off is when the "parents" think it's funny. If I was a restaurant manager I would ask the idiots to control the crumb cruncher or get the hell out.

I would never drug a child. Instead, I find that if you put a plastic bag over their heads, they will quiet down in a few minutes.

They're called noise cancelling headphones, invest in some :slap:
Bad enough being trapped in an airplane with noisy kids, but now days just going to the supermarket or mall can be a bummer with kids running up and down the aisles playing tag, etc while the parents shop and ignore them. :smash:
There should be a kid free airline. I'd pay extra $
I leave in a few hours for Ohio..praying there and no ankle biters on the flight. :dance:

Last time I flew, there was a kid on there who was complaining to his mom that his throat hurt, two days later I went to the doctor and had strep throat, let me tell you how thrilled I was.

You ought to be in front of a screamer like that who also kicks your seat every few seconds. It was a crowded flight and no way for me or the screaming crotch spawn & mom able to change seats. That went all the way from Chicago to the East coast.

When I'm trying to eat dinner at a resturant and someones kids is acting up I let them know I don't care for it,if I see well behaved kids I let the parents know that they should be proud.

Oh I can top that. Last Southwest flight I was on, a couple and their four year old got on the plane. They stuck the kind next to me and then the parents sat together in the row behind. God damn kid screamed the whole flight. I told the dad he was an asshole when the flight was over.

Why did it take so long?
Our plane was delayed in Stl, before it got to Houston Hobby. Then we had to wait 2 hours for our luggage.
Where in Houston? And I have driven to Orlando, actually, Kennedy Space Center several times. Nice ride, a bit long, but nice.
I live in Missouri City, really close to Lizs old house. We fly Southwest out of Hobby. I moved from Orlando/Merritt island a year and a half ago...I've made the drive more times than I care to remember.
I'm currently sitting on the sailboat by the locks in port canaveral looking at the VAB up at KSC.

There should be some very clear, cut and dry rules against that.

Should have offered to trade seats with one of the parents. They would be sitting with the kid, and you would be sitting next to an adult. Everyone would be better off.

That went all the way from Chicago to the East coast.I fly two to three round trips a month. Been there... blah, blah, blah.
Ask the parents nicely, then call the flight attendant if they don't stop.
If it goes on for the rest of the flight, oh well. Welcome to air travel in 2010.
Besides, Chicago to the East coast is less than 2 hours normally. Sometimes you just have to suck it up :ball:
You can always drive :lol:

I did have to suck it up. I actually felt sort of sorry for the mother, this was a few years ago and kid was on her lap. She was getting the shit kicked out of her stomach, and it did appear that she was trying to control the kid, but nothing worked. The plane was crowded and turbulence was bad so that limited aisle standing for mom and me. Go to tell you thought that flight felt like it took 10 hours and I had a headache that a bottle of Excedrin could not help.
I/we will no longer fly if it’s drivable with 10 hours or so. (Not because of screaming kids)
You need a car anyway and it eliminates the TSA douche bags, airport/airplane problems and delay bullshit.

:yesnod: Same here, any trip around 500 miles and 8 hours, I drive.
Had a young mom w/baby sitting in the middle, me on the aisle and a 20 something guy at the window seat on a flight last year.
The baby is crying and screaming from the pressure in her ears, the mom is apologizing over and over again.
I told her I have four kids and it doesn't really bother me. You learn how to tune it out. Even offered to help hold the baby if she wanted a break.
I look over at the kid by the window and he has his hands clasped behind his head with his arms covering his ears and he's rocking back in forth in his seat making really loud noises.
The baby was driving him crazy :rofl: I was afraid he was going to try and open the emergency door in our exit row and jump out. :lol:

If I acted like that when i was a kid, I got an ass whoopin. Therefore, I did not act like that.:yesnod:
People are afraid to spank their kids in public, because some hippy douchebag will call the cops or CPS...and most kids figure that out pretty quickly.

Sometimes the air pressure change screws with kids ears and they are legitimately in pain.
Other times they do it just to piss you off.
I just tell the parents that, as a registered sex offender, I"m not allowed to sit within 5 rows of an underage child. They usually move them right along.
