From a parent who is disappointed with other parents. I don't think they should ban kids, they should just ENFORCE RULES and make THE PARENTS RESPONSIBLE! I have four kids, all under age 12 and I have been thanked so many times by people on planes and in restaurants because my children were seated while other kids were screaming, running down the aisle or in one case rubbing soap from the airplane lavatory on peoples armrests. Fine the parents or ask them to leave. mdash;Patricia
From a frequent global traveler who's disappointed with other adults: Think about all of the times you've been bothered by adults in restaurants and on planes. More times than by kids, I'll bet. The loud couple behind you that talk incessantly, the smelly guy next to you, the people walking down the aisle that hit your arm, the man that moves the back of your seat whenever he gets his fat butt up, the smoker constantly hacking pieces of his lung up, the guy on his 3rd beer that won't stop burping, the crotch in your face as they put luggage overhead. Why aren't we banning adults? umdash;Bob
ARE YOU KIDDING ME? Adults that can't deal with children shouldn't go out in public where there are going to be children. I agree that many times kids are out of control, but there ARE many more times where I have seen ADULTS out of control, what is their excuse? Kids get cranky, adults get cranky, deal with it, that's life or better yet -stay off the planes - you drive to your vacation and leave the flying to the REAL adults, not you immature idiots.
I do not have kids. While I understand the need for people to fly and not disrupt their plans, many PARENTS need a sensitivity training class to make them aware that they are used to their children's loud behavior and they don't notice when their kids noise level becomes annoying to other people. It's about time that parents recognize that just because they have kids, it doesn't mean that their kids should be allowed to annoy the other paying passengers on the plane. The behavior of kicking seats, yelling, or running around should not be tolerated by any parent, and if it is, then the flight attendent has a perfect right to ask the parent to intervene or have the child removed from plane (assuming it is still on the ground). Adults, buy yourself some noise cancelling headphones and get yourself an ipod so you can drown out the unpleasant noise level on planes.
