WORST Flight EVER
I just thought I would share with you all (more so vent) about my wonderful flight to Utah this past Thurday! On our flight from Fort Lauderdale to Pheonix (4 1/2 hours) Taija wasn't having the best of days...she was being whiney and didn't want to take a nap. We had the entire row to ourselves which was nice so I thought I would try and get her to nap. Yeah not such a great idea. Well after about 5 minutes of trying I gave up and was now switching to getting her a bottle. This lady from a few rows behind us came up and asked if I needed any help...after I told her no we were doing okay she preceded to tell me how the entire plane would appreciate it if I would keep my child quiet and pointed out a few things I could do - such as hold her because she was cold. Okay stupid lady I was in the middle of making a bottle!!! Not only that Taija was super HOT after I wrapped her up in her blanket trying to get her to sleep! Such a helpful lady...needless to say I cried for the next hour as Taija just sat there (quietly) watching me. I LOVE when people try to be helpful as if I just LOVE hearing my child cry in the airplane. Not to mention this was only 2 hours into our flight! Really now WHO does that?!

Oh that sucks so bad. I am sorry to hear it was so horrible.I would have said something to that lady.. like mind your own freakin business.
Oh Toshi I'm so sorry. People can be really rude. I've had people tell me to quiet my kid on an airplane before, too. Oh if they only knew--it's definitely not for lack of trying. The obviously have never tried it themselves. Sorry you had to deal with that woman. I'm glad you could see she really didn't know what she was talking about...
Oh my gosh, that's my fear every time we get on a plane. Argh, that woman probably does not have any kids of her own. People are such morons. Plus, I bet she was the only one that was actually bothered by it. Most people don't actually care that much. What a jerk. I wish I had been there, I would have given her an earful (not that I would have in your position though, I would have done just what you did lol) Sorry you had to go through that!
I can't believe that! I'm so sorry, Toshi! You should have pointed out how NOT helpful it is to get unsolicited advice from strangers when you're in the middle of consoling your child, and that the whole plane would probably appreciate it if she would sit down so you could get back to making Taija happy. Some people. I'm sorry you had to deal with that alone!
Oh Toshi, Im so sorry! I am amazed with things people say sometimes!! That is lady is lucky she didnt say that to me because I wouldnt have been so kind! :)She probably hasnt ever had children!!
Oh, that is so frustrating! I'm sorry. I also hate when people try to tell you're doing a bad job parenting by pointing out all of the things you're not doing. As if we don't know our child the best. Better luck on your way home, Toshi. Hopefully Taija will be more cooperative
That is messed up. I'm sure that lady has never had any kids, because if she did she would understand that you were doing everything you could and she has no right to come up to you like that. I'm sorry she was such a jerk and made you feel bad. Err thats just rude!
oh my word... i would have died! I hate people like that! they are the reason moms stress in the first place!
That sucks Tosh! I would never do that. People don't really think, do they?
