I want to say that Crew sometimes have no idea of the stress involved in just getting through the airport e.g. Security X-Raying the shoes of our 18 month infant. "Are you actually serious?" I asked holding the tiny shoes in my hand having finally removed them.
A little bit of common sense wouldn't go amis from Cabin Crew:
"You need to fasten your child's seat-belt!"
"But the engines are shut down and we're parked waiting for a take-off slot"
"The Captain has put the fasten seat-belt sign on!"
"OK, I will do, just give me half a minute" thinking, FFS you obviously have never travelled with kids...
Well many crew have children themselves and do take them through those same airports, not to mention spending a lot of our working time removing our own shoes, belts, etc and having strange people rub us all over! As the other crew have said its not personal, its just our job description!
