Do you know what parents nowadays just can't win with members of the general public.
If our kids misbehave we are neglectful, not doing our jobs etc etc etc see it all the time on these boards
If we want to be seated next to our kids to supervise and look after them then we are helicopter parents, entitled etc etc etc.
Quit giving parents such a hard time. Most of us are doing our best day in day out.
Totally agree with this. I also want to add that I always pay for seats for my family to sit together. Its my job to care for my child whether age 2 or 11. For those people saying who cares if the child is separated if their over age 5, I care. I care for 3 reasons; first it's my child, second what if there was an emergency and third because you can't trust people today. In my line of work I have seen it all and there is no way my child is sitting with strangers. Again I pay, plan and prepare to do this, I don't expect the airline to accommodate me nor other passengers.
