If you do not have a child then you really have no clue about how much of a challenge it is to keep a young child that is confined for hours happy. Before my sons birth i would see kids in the market and think "that poor child." Now i feel for the parents because i understand that they enjoy their kids tantrum much less than i do. My son has flown cross country with me and he was a pain, but with that said most of you probably think "WHAT A TERRIBLE PARENT!" or "you must be the most inconciterate human i've ever met!" or my favorite "what a bad parent." It must come as a shock then when i say that strangers frequently comment on my son's great behavior and manners. He knows to always say please and thank you, he knows to excuse himself from the table, he knows that he needs to show everyone around him some respect. So you need to get over yourself and be realistic when flying on an airline with children on it. sorry for the rant
