6/11/2012 3:30 PM CDT I'd rather fly with a plane full of animals than one bratty little whining child anyway. No one seems to have sympathy for those of us having to put up with misbehaved children during our flights.

I have found a solution to the annoying whining crying kids problems on flights and now that I have two little ones of my own [who at 10 months old made a round trip from MEX to BKK to BJX] - it no longer bothers me at all. The 28 hour trip actually seemed to go by more quickly than normal as I always had something to do [sleep not being an option] So for all those kid haters out there [I'm sure you were the lovliest of children in your time -or- did you just skip childhood? make sure you fork over the ever extra fees to get seat assignments as far from us as possible - 1st Class maybe? No, that's not safe either as for some incomprehensible reason the gate agent in MEX told me she was 'changing our seats' and then handed us boarding passes for 1A and 2A - nice ride at least to SFO where we had to move to the back of the bus for the rest of the trip.
