“They should be seen and not heard - except they shouldn’t be seen.”
And I thought I was the only one who believed in this mantra.
I wonder how old the 2 of you are.
I have a special-needs daughter. We try NOT to have to travel with her in anything but a private conveyance (family car), but sometimes we have to. Yes...I have been THAT parent that took a child that cried almost the entire flight (Houston-Seattle), but there wasn’t a damn thing I could do about it...and Benadryl doesn’t work on her.
I understand that there are some people that simply don’t like kids. I would hope, however, that some shred of compassion, no matter how small, exists in everyone, and would govern their actions accordingly.
