So, how do you make your NINETEEN MONTH old sit still and shut up when confined in a small space? Do you sedate your child?

A quantifier should be added to this discussion. If I'm on a train or any enclosed space for long periods of time i.e. an airplane cabin, a crying child isn't horrible PER SE. Its the Mother's reaction to the behavior that determines whether its tolerable or not. If I see a woman trying her hardest to keep her child quiet or at the very least laughing (odd how happy people get when they hear a baby laugh) then I sympathize and don't mind at all. If on the other hand, the woman is just ignoring the kid I get pissed. Its about common courtesy in public. Something the young and the young who just had kids are not taught very often.

You don't take them on a plane if they can't handle it without wigging out. It's child abuse to inflict the confinement of a plane on a hyperactive child and it certainly is abusive to all the other passengers.

Don't be silly. You bind and gag them </sarcasm>
