Brilliant and thoughtful parents handed these out to everyone on my flight.

Last time I flew next to a mom, kid pooped in the diaper on take off. She tried handing me the diaper asking if I could throw it away. I got yelled at for taking my seat belt off to let her out, but told the stewardess that I wasnt touching poop in coach

They type really well for 14 weeks old.

Haha awesome.. I love when people are overly considerate. It makes me tolerant of any behavior. If a car cuts me off, but the driver waves an apology or makes an ashamed face, I am instantly forgiving and even fond of the person

Extra props for somehow finding the space in their carry-ons to fit all of this with whatever materials you may need to console twin infants on a plane ride.

Within the first hour of a flight to China, the little toddler sitting next to me pooped on the seat. Yes, that's right-- no diaper. There was a slit in the back of his pants in order to squat and poo, and he just let it all come out onto the seat. The bathroom sink on that flight was also pooped in. Just a joyful 14 + hours.

makes me want to have parents.

I would like to be the first person on a plane right now to approve of this.

This is way awesome. I wonder what the flight attendants thought of them handing out candy to everyone, haha.

I flew on a flight last year and there was a young child, maybe 2 or 3, sitting behind me. The whole fight the parent of the child sang songs, read, colored, and basically kept the child very busy. After we landed the man who was sitting in my row turned around to the parent and said.

"Madam, I have to say that you have an incredible child. It was such a relief to have her be as good as she was on this long flight. But, I must say that YOU about drove me nuts!"

Everyone within hearing range busted out laughing, even the parent of the child.

My parents (a pilot and a flight attendant) got in the habit of buying drinks for people. I was a relatively well-behaved child, but I was fascinated by the sound of my own screaming when my ears were all plugged up, and neither my random monkey-shrieks or the resulting giggles were amusing to anybody else for very long.

EDIT to add pic discussed in comments: What I have now been informed was an "ozone helmet."

When I flew to Vegas two weeks ago (a 4 hour flight), there was a baby about 9 months old and he was adorable and probably only got fussy about 3 minutes out of the whole flight. I felt bad at first cause you could see the disdain on the peoples face who were sitting near (and I"m sure she noticed too), but by the end everyone was vying for the little dudes attention because he was so damn bubbly and happy.

I was just flying a few days ago and was telling my dad about a toddler behind us that was screaming. He said that when you fly with a toddler you have to yawn in front of them to get them to yawn, thus popping their ears. Wish I would have know it on the flight. Poor baby was flying from Jordan.

And that, son, is the story of how your mother and I gave LSD to an airplane full of people ;)

NewMattress · 2012-09-02T23:07:45+00:00

On a recent flight there were several fussy (but not loud) toddlers, but I got sat next to two snooty suits loudly complaining about the noise. All they talked about for two hours was how much they hated it and that they were going to demand to be moved if it carried on.

I tuned it out until one of them spied a mother carrying a (sleeping) baby back from the toilet, waited until she was right by him and said "These parents ought to be ASHAMED by their DISGUSTING brats". The poor woman was so embarrassed that she just froze for a second then literally ran down the aisle.

I made it my business to chat to the two year old in front of us after that. Assholes.

I like having babies on my flight. I figure just in case god exists, he's probably less likely to take down a flight with babies on board.

My sister had my nine month old nephew on our flight to Maui, which was five hours. On the way there he was happy and didn't make a peep, and my sister was so relieved because she was terrified of taking him for fear of being "that mom". On the flight home however, he screamed the entire flight, and she basically paced the aisles the entire time. Anyway, next to them was an old man, and my sister spent the whole flight apologizing and on the verge of tears. At the end of the flight, he turned to her an said "don't worry about it sweetie, one look at his sweet face made it all worth it". I think he was the nicest man ever.

We are all sitting in 20E and 20F

Wow. That's got to be rough with twins, especially that age.

We always bought a seat for our kids except for one transatlantic flight on British Airways where we accidentally didn't get the extra seat when booking online as it said something like "how many children 2 and under". If you check that they assume you don't want to buy the ticket. Fortunately it worked out better than expected as they have these nifty bulkhead seat options for infants. Parents get extra legroom and don't have to pay for an extra ticket.

This is considerate, but aren't we all adults who can understand that babies are prone to bouts of crying?

aeiah · 2012-09-02T22:03:00+00:00

What bullshit. There is no way a 14 week old baby could type that up.
