atlg8r Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 Therefore what? There are bad parents. Suck it up. If someone can't cope with a few hours of a bratty kid on a plane, then they need to work on controlling stress. Guys spent months a few seconds away from being blown to bits by an IED in Iraq...another grown man has to make a rant about a child on a plane? There is always something "worse" we could complain about. I realize there will always be bad parents. My issue is that no one points it out anymore. We all just tolerate it. We tolerate parents not parenting, leading to more bad adults. It's a discussion forum. I'm marrying an Iraq war combat-injured veteran, so please don't preach to me about what vets or military have to go through. I am fully aware. Despite the "real" problems he faces, he would agree with me that more people should speak up about people not being responsible and accountable. Further, I think the OP said it was a 7 or 8 hour flight. Not just a couple of hours or a quick interruption/tantrum. Link to post Share on other sites
