Anyway, I just saw this.
Mom and chatty toddler kicked off flight
Basically, this mum and her kid were on a flight to Oklahoma, and the 19 month old kept saying "bye bye plane" and wouldnt shut up. They turned the plane around and made her get off because of that...:eek2:

Children should be seen, not heard :yes:
And there are way to many parents that need to teach their children to behave. I don't blame the child, I blame the parents.
Though I disagree with the flight attendents request to medicate the child. I find that quite appaling.
You use public transport, then you expect other people to be on it.
I dont get why so many people are totally intolerant of children.
You should realise that children are naturally boisterous. If you've got a problem with kids being kids it's your problem, not anybody elses.
so children are second class citizens?
Complete and utter bollocks.
When your meal is cut short and ruined because you have a child absoutly screaming bloody murder for half an hour or running up and down isles slapping other people and the parents don't even once say "shhh" you're completly fine with that? When many people go out to a palce to enjoy a night out and a child sits and crys because they can't get something from a quarter machine the entire time, nobody has a shitty night from that? When you have to sit for 2 straight hours at the DMV and a child talks, crys, screams and repeats nonstop for the entire 2 hours, you dont' think any of the hundred people crammed into that space get pissed off?
It [what my_name said] wasn't bollocks it was right on the money. Yes, kids will be kids, but kids should also be taught when to shut the fuck up, and it's a parent's job to do that, and know how to do it well.
Too many parents these days don't give a fuck about what their children do, or how they affect other people, probably because they themselves have the attitude that they only care about themselves, or probably because they simply can't control their kids, but either way it's poor parenting.
As for whether some kid talking on a plane is an example of bad parenting, who knows cos I wasn't there, but I have seen plenty of examples elsewhere.
not really
there is a time and a place for kids to be boisterous
in other people's company, they should be taught to behave approprietly
i was a loud mouth when out with friends, in the garden and even at home, but if my mum and dad took me to a cafe, restaurant or the shops, I was made/taught to behave
i do however think that kicking a kid off the plane is a bit freakin harsh! after all, they paid their money!
a kid chatting away isnt really going to endanger anyones safety....
plus, adults know better....
the kid has probably not long found his voice and wanted to use it!
I think your right Rachie. I doubt the child will have just being saying bye, bye plane. It costs a lot of money to divert a plane and delay the flight. The decission wont have been taken lightly. There is more than meets the eye.
On Sunday in the pub where I work, there were about 5 young children running riot around the pub and garden. These kids were jumping around, climbing on tables and flooding the toilets, while there parents sat drinking vodkas and cokes from 1pm til 8pm, in the process of pissing off all our other customers.
Thankfully the landlord has some sense and asked them unless they can control their children and stop them running riot, then they were no longer welcome.

well yeah, thats either bad parenting, or maybe a special needs child. You cant always tell.
Kicking a 19 month old child - a baby off a plane, for chattering away - thats awful.
obviously if someone is putting other people in danger, the fact that they "paid" doesnt cut it
you cant put a price on safety
Well, yes, actually, they can. Or they should be able to. If a kid doesn't listen to their parents then they've not been taught to give respect. Either that or they've got a mental problem.
Indeed
What do you expect a 19 month old child to do? Sit there and shut up? Repeating stuff is their way of learning.
at 19mths??
its not uncommon for kids to not even be walking at 18/19 mths, id like to see you try and instil respect for others peace and quiet at that age.
I would as well.
You can't teach a 19 month old to do that though, yes you might be able to teach them to sit still for a few minutes, but there's no way they can be taught to behave the way you wish when other people are around.
I take it hardly of you have ever had kids then?
for sure!
When I went to france the other week on the Eurostar, it was supposed to be a family carriage so there would be room for a pushchair etc. Turned out there was NO extra room for anything like that, and me and bf were seated next to two single guys, one who smiled at my baby, and the other one who just looked at us like we were a piece of shit on his shoe everytime the baby murmered because it was disturbing his suduko. I couldnt feed the baby or anything without going into the inbetween carriages bit.
Why go on about the rights of the childless as though everyone else should pander to that? people with kids dont get any special provision. Why not just be tolerant of others, children and adults. its not exactly hard
Children eh. Who'd have em.
