How do people feel about even-trading plane seats?

Seems like maybe you should spend a little time teaching him decent manners. Why do you presume strangers want your child chatting endlessly to them during a flight and conversely, why would you set your 10 year old up to get his feelings hurt when his seat mates tell him to be quiet.

It’s ok for kids to learn things the hard way. They will get over it.

Haha. Same. I thought I was the only one. Always a middle seat, too!

Why the middle? Booking your child window or aisle would be more comfortable for your child. The only reason to book an annoying child to middle is an attempt to intentionally annoy as many other people as possible at the expense of your child's comfort.

This is similar to parents here expressing a desire for their child to vomit. Since annoying other passengers is the goal, do you have a preferred method of making it more likely for your child to vomit, causing annoyance? Exposing them to the flu, perhaps? Feeding them food known to cause food poisoning?

What's more likely to happen is their child sitting next to some creep who is going to inappropriately touch them. Parent of the year award!!!!!

The kid would be better off having a break from their overbearing, anxious, tightly wound, irrational mother. You should worry more about the damage you’re doing than the remote possibility of a stranger touching them or the plane crashing. This has future estrangement written all over it.

He'd be told to STFU and if he didn't, I'd ask for him to be moved next to you for being unruly. Such selfish assh0les you are.

And since you are not King of the 737, you would be ignored by attending staff. Fly private, b!!ch!

I would "accidentally" spill some coffee right down your face, bitc&. OR even better, HIS. Raise your own spawn.

Nasty woman

You sure are. Can’t even stand your own kid for the duration of the flight. Since you don’t want to teach him, I will. You’re welcome.

DCUM: "The child must sit next to me, because rapists."

Also DCUM: "The child must sit next to rapists, because the child annoys me an I need a break."

You get that your child is your responsibility, right? Not mine, not Sally's. YOURS.

Not me, not Hermione, YOU!

Cool, cool. I’ll order an extra cup coffee. Whoopsie! I guess you should have watched him better.
