Similar to the woman with the sippy cup. Totally different story once the tape came out.

Bye bye, stewardess.

I’m only hostile to families who won’t control their seat-kicking, screaming, thing-throwing ankle-biters.

If children are well-behaved, I have no problem with them and their family. I smile on that.

If children are sh!theads, though . . . well, odds are so are the parents.

One way or the other, there’s more to this story than what’s in this article.

"I don’t know, but if the other passengers stick up for her even when she made the flight late I would certainly be tempted to believe them over the stewardess."

OJ killed Nicole. The jury said he didn't. People lie. Especially to protect their own kind and to punish those who are different.

Maybe you could take the Benedryl instead of doping up the baby with it.

I wonder what the true story is here.

If the other passengers are supporting the mother, she's telling the truth and the stewardess needs to find another line of work. No passenger on a plane is going to defend the mother of a screaming child who decides to start a fight with a flight attendant.

Sounds like the stewardess needs a serious attitude check. Someone might also want to check her kids for sedatives.

If the other passengers back the lady’s story the stewardess is toast and Continental Airlines will be writing a check to the Mom.

Whatever happened to those fun-loving flight attendants?

"She then said, 'You know, it's called baby Benadryl.' And I said, 'Well, I'm not going to drug my child so you have a pleasant flight,'" Penland said.

Right there, that's evidence that the mom doesn't care if her kid causes an unpleasant flight.

I agree with you, but when the kid is only 19 months old there has to be some leeway with what the parents are able to do with them at that age. Anything over 3 and it’s 100 percent the parents fault, under that it’s case by case.

They found husbands and allowed the next crop of pretty young things to become stewardesses.

We could dope up the rest of the plane so the brat can run free.

Or, parents could be considerate of the other passengers on the plane and control their children or dope them up if necessary. You chose to take the kid on a flight, you be responsible for him.

It all started when Stewardesses became Flight Attendants.

Probably exactly what the mom and other passengers are saying. I used to work for an airline and overheard flight attendants say rude things to passengers. Obviously, this one wasn't very child-friendly.

Benedryl is safe and it's more socially acceptable than duct tape.

That doping up a child is an answer to you makes me think you don’t have children.
