When travelling with small children, I've found that sometimes airlines and airports are prepared to provide staff to help cope with them ...

... but the one thing the parent actually wants to the staff to do is hang onto the child and stop it from escaping, whilst the (lone) parent does something else exciting, like collect the baggage or go to the loo ...


... and the one thing that the airline or aiport staff will absolutely refuse to do is ...

... touch the child

So why offer to help if they're not, in practice, actually going to be prepared to do anything useful????
