is it wrong for me to turn to the parents of the child who's been screaming for the past 2 hours and 45 minutes and say "wouldnt he be more comfortable in the cargo hold? I know I would if he were."
okay - technically I didn't say it outloud. but good gravy. actually they have 2 kids screaming their heads off. you would think they wouldve brought games or whatever to keep them calm... I know gigglemom and giggledad used to AND GET THIS they used to pay attention to me unlike these boobs who have a cone of silence around their heads.
and maybe they should've done what gigglemom used to do... get me doped up on dramamine PRE-FLIGHT.
I hated the taste of it, but I don't remember hearing an entire group of passengers grumbling "shut that kid the hell up"
aaaaaaarrgh.

UPDATE: again, this is bringing out the comments... not so crazy as the "diaper post".
Again, my site is NOT a "mommy blog" - so if people want sympathy go find one of those blogs that talk about their sniffly kid staying home from school every other day or being allergic to air. I don't have kids at this moment in my life because i really don't want them right now and if my comment about some jackhole set of parents who are rude and not dealing with their kids on a plane causes one to think that i feel like i could be a "better parent" - no, i feel it's about being a better frigging PERSON. the parent thing is not an excuse or license to just crap all over other people and then say defensively "if you think you can do it better, come down to babysit" (which i just had said to me in an email from that JS person) - here's the thing. NO. i don't want to go near a kid with a ten foot pole. i am not a babysitter. i don't WANT to be your frigging kid's babysitter. nor do i feel like 200 people on a plane should be your kid's babysitter. i don't care if your kid is autistic or has a fucking hangnail. take care of YOUR kid. don't force your kid's problems down our throats and have them caterwauling and then say "oh well, too bad deal with it or be my babysitter." i am sick of parents who act like this - i have respect for most parents, don't get me wrong. but i take my Anti-Baby Vitamin every day faithfully - and after a plane ride like that one (and the comments from "Angry Mommies") i wish i could double up on the damned Pill just to make sure.
