Parents that just let their kids melt down are the worst. Some kids are harder than others though.

I surely didn't mean all but I see it everyday where younger parents have no clue how to be a real parent. They let their kids run wild with absolutely no or weak and ineffective discipline, spoil them with everything they want etc. I can tell that some of these younger parents that I know have a monster in the making with their kids. Telling mom and dad NO, slapping them and throwing fits when they don't get what they want etc. and the parents just shrug it off.

If I was on that flight...I don't care whose kid it is...I would shut him up if the parents won't.

I can just envision the mother now. On her Facebook probably posting anti Trump garbage and saying "calm down honey" over and over while not taking her eyes from the screen.

Everyone get's a trophy, every child is perfect. We live in Utopia.

Can the airlines cancel their return flight and put them on their no-fly list?

My mom would spash a toddler having a tantrum with cold water. Worked every time and they never did it again (while she was in the room)

She raised 9 kids and lived through WWII and the depression. Toddlers throwing a tantrum were not much for her to deal with.

I didn't watch the whole thing.

Did the parents make valiant but ineffective attempts to calm and entertain the child?
