What an immature mother, risking her child for a bit of revenge that affected no one but her child, and it proved nothing.

I bet if she's been offered any kind of help at the beginning she would have gladly taken the farther back seats but seeing as no one wanted to help till it was them who were being inconvenienced it wasn't the worst thing she could have done. And what is with everyone getting so up in arms? stop cussing it's just a story on the internet Breath deep and calm down If i had to put up with the way the airline was treating her i would have done the same, at a certain point you just want a little bit of revenge and making them do it her way after being so unwilling to help before was an easy vengeance to take.

He's one of the few parents who GETS IT. My family also travels to the family members who have kids. It just makes life simpler, and lucky for all of us, my brother and his kids live between my parents and I, so it works out well. I say KUDOS to Jim. He's one of the few parents who GETS IT.

Nobody from the airline was willing to fix the situation. ------------ They offered seats a mere 11 rows back. It seems mommy wanted to stretch her legs, and was using junior monster as an excuse. I'm all for flights billed as 'toddler free' (nobody under 8) and would even pay a premium to not have to deal with prima donnas who inflict their children on the rest of us, rather than taking real responsibility, try to blame everyone else even when some effort is made to accomodate an unfortunate circumstance. Glad I'm not a FA, or I'd be tempted to offer the 'next flight might have some seats' package. DSD April 8, 2010 at 9:54 am

And quite frankly I don’t blame the mother for being annoyed and insisting on the better seats. She made her arrangements, asking for SEATS TOGETHER. Pointed this out to the ticketing agent and AGAIN to the FA. Then she asked the men if they would switch seats, and they were rude in their response to her? It only became a problem when she just went with the flow and put her child down and headed to her seat. How come nobody saw this as a problem before then? What did those guys think would happen? I think she was right to then be a little nasty back and have them have to move. Screw’em they should’ve been nicer when they responded. A “I’m sorry, no” in a nice tone would have probably kept her on her go with the flow attitude and she’d of gone back and asked the people 11 rows back, but there’s only so much a person can take before they just say SCREW IT.
