I agree. I haven't flown with my 3 year old daughter yet because I've seen her become overtired, and no amount of "beating" or anything else is going to improve the situation. When a three year old is tired and throwing a fit, there is nothing you can do but put them in their bed and close the door. Having said that, I wouldn't have complained a bit if we got thrown off of a flight. It's just part of having a three year old. No harm, no foul. The airline did the right thing. They can only wait so long.
Yup.
