...to add insult to injury, every time I asked the adults to please prevent their children from kicking my seat, they reacted as if they needed to call Chucky Schumer toot sweet for child abuse!
Too many parents use that extra time not to get their bags stowed and their children settled, but to let loose their precious monkeys to climb and bounce on the seats, play in the aisles, and/or hover over the seat backs, sliming the passengers behind them. Of course the real problem isn’t antsy kids, but the enabling parents who put it upon strangers to enforce civility.
And just think, now the parents won’t be with them. You could well end up being a de facto baby sitter.
