When it first opened one of the SA theatres had a policy about not allowing children under a certain age into R rated movie theatres, but it disappeared pretty quickly.
She better get more than that. She was dumped in Houston and her luggage was sent ahead w/o her, and she probably had to wait even longer at the airport to get another flight and probably had to pay an arm and a leg for 2 tickets because of the last minute purchase.
I would sue the ers for at least $100,000.

Gin and tonic Icees?
I think it's disturbing there are people here who thinks it's not okay for a toddler to act like a toddler, but it is okay to beat children into silence or to cage them with the luggage for flights (Is that the same Katy who lectured me about calling NorCal spoiled?).
This reminds me of the time I had to wait for 5 hours in the ER and my 3-year-old was playing on the floor with another little boy and laughing. The dude behind me, who must've known it was my kid and looked to be all of 22, started telling his girlfriend how " in' sick and tired I am of these in' kids who can't be quiet; why can't their in' parents do something about them? i never in' acted this way; my dad beat my ass if I didn't behave". (And look how lovely he turned out!)
I for one would be thrilled if airlines had flights assigned for people travelling with or without children because I'm one of those parents who is mortified when my kids scream in public. I don't take my kids to movies or to nice restaurants out of respect for other patrons. But if you have to take a flight, it's not possible to keep your kid quiet for several hours at a time, especially when the flight's been delayed half a day! At that point, the mom was out of bribery snacks from her purse, had probably had to scramble to find something for him to drink, had probably had to find some out of the way place to change several diapers, all because the plane didn't take off when it was supposed to. The flight attendant was out of line. She needs to be put on Zanax or find another job.
changing a diaper on a plane is a nightmare.
Well, maybe I should've put my post in italicized blue font. Or put a pink dancing elephant or some other smiley. Maybe the spinning smiley face one would've done it. Because I wasn't serious.
And I remember commenting about you calling NorCal spoiled but I don't remember giving you a lecture.
Some of you people take things on this board way too seriously.
I dream of carriers offering adults-only flights. Say the hours between 10-4 are child-friendly and have a few flights before and after that time period adults-only.
And I condone smacking a child but I was thinking more of stuffing those unruly kids in the overhead compartments. Caging them in the cargo hold is a bit much, even for me.
pot brownies and sound isolating headphones. before i became a parent it was the only way to fly.
don't you dare lecture us about taking things too seriously young lady.
i like the way the fallguy thinks.
My god, this hasn't been posted yet?!?!?!

Mom Booted From Plane Goes National; Toddler Bucks, Whines During Interview
POSTED: 9:12 am EDT July 13, 2007

NEW YORK -- The Gwinnett County mother kicked off an airplane with her 19-month old son tried to tell her side of the story Friday morning, but her son's crying drowned out part of the interview.
Garren Penland, 19-months old, got so unruly during his mom's chat with 'Good Morning America' anchor Diane Sawyer, co-anchor Chris Cuomo had to take the toddler off the set.
While Kate Penland explained her child was well-behaved on the Continental Express flight, little Garren kicked, wiggled and squirmed out of his mother's arms.
At one point he climbed up on a coffee table and rifled through Sawyer's scripts.
When Sawyer handed him a model Space Shuttle to distract him, Garren rolled it off the table and onto the floor.
Kate Penland said she and Garren were booted from the flight last month by a flight attendant who suggested she use benadryl to calm her son down.
BTW, there's a photo slideshow of the GMA appearance at that link.
It's hi-larious.
Video, too.

can he talk at 19 months? can he understand and listen to his mom at that age? i dunno?
but she should have given him benadryl for the interview.
@ the GMA interview....
1st thing in the morning?? right after a good nights sleep and a nice filling breakfast?? oh yeah baby- that is prime 19month old play time! his body is charged and ready to play play play play!
God I wouldn't put $$ on my 3 yr old sitting still for that, and she talks and listens etc etc, some 19mo don;t.
Do you realize that for some children benadryl actually has the opposite side effect than most people assume it does-- it can actually cause excitability, esp. in small children. It is even in the warnings on the bottle label.
Yeah....Benadryl is like liquid speed for both of my kids. Dimetapp was my drug of choice before they changed the formula.
Now they are old enough to understand "STFU or you're losing your computer for a month."
The "computer taking away" is a parent's best punishment these days.

Works every time!
So does the Cell Phone taking away!

That poor lady!
Wherever there is a clown there is a happy baby
why not hire clown flight attendents who make faces and animal balloons?
What about the people whom are afraid of clowns?
After having my own crying kids on planes (typically on descent), I can easily deal with any crying kids on a plane.
I just keep saying the mantra: "It's not mine" "It's not mine" "It's not mine"
I apologize. I was quick to be y because it's a touchy subject for me. I get dirty looks from people at restaurants even when my kids are being good. Apparently, just the sound of a 4-year-old's voice--even at normal speaking level--is enough to rile up some people.
And what do you mean by "you people"? You mean like moms? White girls? What??
Just kidding.
A lttlel bit of vicodin in their cherry cokeWorked for me!!!!
This story is gonna be on Entertainment Tonight right now.
