Diaper Duty

March 9, 2010 Baby & Kid Stories

I fly a lot for work and recently flew a relatively short 2 hour flight on a smaller regional jet with 50 seats. The plane was full to capacity. I knew it was going to be a bad flight by the sounds of toddlers having tantrums in the gate area and exhausted parents who could [...]

Tortured By Children On Planes

During Christmas 2006, I fly home from California to Massachusetts to spend holidays with the family. My fiance and I board the plane to MA to take the 6 hour flight and he agrees to change seats with me as I was sitting directly next to a toddler and did not want to. Odd behavior, [...]

February 25, 2010 Baby & Kid Stories

July 2nd, 2003 I was on Northwest flight 852 from Anchorage, Alaska to Detroit, Michigan, approximately a 6 hour red eye on a 757-300. I was only 15 at the time and by myself. Surprisingly the flight was packed full. My seat was back in row 43 and as always I had a window seat. [...]

Twin Troubles

February 16, 2010 Baby & Kid Stories

My husband and I were on a direct flight between Amsterdam and Los Angeles – the plane was packed. For the first time (and hopefully the last) we actually saw passengers sitting in the jump seats. The cat at their feet began crying and we thought “This is going to be a long flight.” Turns [...]

Having just left my new wife for a wholly unpleasant search for work trip to the UK, all I really wanted to do after waiting 4 hours for my connecting flight from Dulles to London was to at least try to get some sleep as I was on a night flight. Ho ho ho, I [...]

Don’t Allow Babies And Toddlers On Flights

February 4, 2010 Baby & Kid Stories

Let me begin with a little background: I am in my 40’s, I have 3 children (ages 18 -28) all of whom I never took on a plane until they were age 7 or older – obviously I don’t believe in babies and toddlers on airplanes. To parents of small children I say, “Drive to [...]

Sympathetic Words From A Stranger

January 29, 2010 Baby & Kid Stories

I was always one of those single working ladies in my 20′s who couldn’t stand kids, especially on flights! I hated the little creatures and their mothers. Fast forward a few decade later and I became a mother! (be careful kid haters). My first and last flight with my two year old son was taken [...]

January 27, 2010 Baby & Kid Stories

I was on a flight from LAX to ATL with a stop in Houston one morning. I sat in my seat in the back of the 737 to relax after a stressful business trip and was disturbed to hear the high pitched whine of a loud eight year old that was sitting behind me. In [...]

The Bad Kid

January 27, 2010 Baby & Kid Stories

I was waiting to board a plane on a return flight from Paris when I saw a woman from Africa with two children, one of which was shaking up a bottle of soda while waiting in line. I saw what was about to happen and got out of the way. He opened the bottle and [...]

Grace Asked For Children’s Behavior

January 23, 2010 Baby & Kid Stories

About two years ago, a family with three little ones were traveling from Chicago to Dallas, about a four hour jaunt. As the plane gets ready for takeoff, the dad starts freaking out. Apparently, the baby’s diaper was gone (the dad was sitting across the aisle from the mom and other two children) and she had [...]
