I've had concersations with CC (late night, in the galle, cabin sleeping, you know the routine!) and have been told, "Mother with a babe in arms boards for a 9-hr sector. Before she sits down, she demands I give her nappies for the baby."

Should be a way to say Yes and then surcharge them!

As a Parent of 2, who has travelled with them (and the wife of course) since they were babies, I am mortified about the inability of other parents to adequately plan, control and look after there own offspring!:ugh:

We pay for priority boarding if we need to, and also pre-book seats as soon as possible after booking. we have contigency plans for splitting into 2 - 2 or 3 - 1 if we need to and always have enough entertainment to not have to rely on the (sometimes non-existant) IFE.

I guess its generally the same families who dont strap their children into car seats properly, or insist that the older ones do wear seat belts.

On numourous occasions I've been tempted to 'accidentally' move my bag into the aisle at an inopportune moment:E, but that would just penalise the child for their bad parents.

I'd like to apologise to CC everywhere for the worst of my peers/demographic.


(Been lurking a while, financially constrained to not having a PPL due to the 2 offspring as noted above, have had trial lessons in Helecopter and Fixed Wing, used to paraglide until said offspring also)
