Singles who are for the "Love of Disney" - Part 3

OK, but if you are on first how do you know the kid with the active legs will not wind up sitting behind you?

Well that's an easy one...those with kiddo's have already boarded the plane. So when those of us with A Boarding passes board, we can see where they are sitting and choose our seats so they are not behind them.

I think it's under 5 years old that can pre-board.

Sounds about right...in my experience the kids older then that don't tend to kick seats....I have only had one bad experience, and the parents thought the kid was too cute for words. The flight attendent had to speak to them about the child.

I remember traveling with my cousins when the were small. My aunt and uncle made sure to keep the kids entertained. I think that is key.

I always feel so badly for the little one's who have problems with their ears on flights...at 35 I still feel their pain. But pretty sure those around me wouldn't be as understanding if I cried like that.....lol

Ugh I hate that "my kids are adorable and can do no wrong and everyone around me should realize that" attitude.

When I flew back from Tokyo last year I was sitting next to this little girl who was a few years younger than my DD. She fell asleep soon after the plane took off and slept for quite a bit. She was very well behaved after she woke up, I was impressed considering it was about a 14-hour flight. I let her look at a little photo album I have of my DD and she chatted with me a little bit. I was totally impressed by whatever her parents did to prepare her for that LONG flight.

I never understood that. I have a child...and I watch her on the plane, in movie theaters, etc...and I tell her no seat kicking...and I watch her to make sure she isn't kicking seats. And if she does kick the seat we apologize and I tell her again no seat kicking cause the person if front of you can feel it and it does not feel good. It's not that hard...if you are paying attention to your kids I guess.

I remember we flew to Chicago when she was 4. This was my first time flying with her. I had a bag of new toys and activities for the plane, we talked about plane behavior before we left, etc. Everytime she started to get a little bored out came a new book, toy, activity. I even remember the flight attendant commenting how well behaved she was (not bragging ). It's not that hard, but you do have to be on top of things.

Thank you
Wonderful parents are hard to find.

I generally dont have a problem with kids who cry if their ears hurt, agreed that is painful.

One time I had this kid behind me, probably about 9 or so (old enough to know better) I have a neck injury and the kicking thing just does me in.
SO for three hours he proceeded to kick me even after I asked the mother politely for him to stop.
The end of the flight he stood up as we waited to exit asking if it is time to get off, I calmly replies NO, now it is my turn to sit behind you for three hours and kick you. Mother just lowered her head and never appologized.
That is my kind of luck.

Amy I love well behaved kids
I hate to sit still for three hours and really feel for parents trying to occupy their kids on a plane.
The ignorant ones just really irk me

I get it. I get annoyed by detached parents myself. I think sometimes parents forget that they are the parents and they are in charge and your child does not need to like you all the time but they do need to respect you . Also as parents it is our responsibility to teach our kids manners, how to act in public, etc otherwise how are they going to learn those things?

Agreed!
We shall see how I do with other people's kids. They are wel behaved or I would not be taking them.

Thanks...Its gonna be a great weekend...Actually my first trip in awhile without Bob...and it seems that Miss Sha and a few others are planning a little something to celebrate our getting married next month

 

[MOREMICKEYFORME]

You will have a great time with great friends!
You made quite the jump with a wedding next month!!! I love last minute surprises, they usually work out better than the ones you plan for years.

 

[Johnfish]

Only a few more hours for me!!! On the plane tomorrow at 6 am. Looks like I am gettting out of town just in time. The is a flood watch up for tomorrow with up to 3 inches of rain! Hope we dont have a delay as our connnection in atlanta is only an hour after we land.

Looking forward to seeing everyone tomorrow! My first stop after leaving the airport is cast memeber services to drop off a resume' I am not sure if they can use someone with my talents but I can then write off my travel and motel on taxes as a job search And who knows maybe it will be a dream come true!!

See y'all tomorrow!!
