[quote=Anonymous]I think the plane noise drowns out an iPad as long as the volume is low and many toddlers won't keep earphones on. I don't think the flight attendant was wrong to ask (maybe someone complained to her). I do think the mom was wrong to "give attitude," but she had probably already had a really shitty day traveling with a toddler and didn't want to disrupt the status quo when she had him calm (no excuse, just empathy). Legs in the aisle is a safety rule. It's been enforced on me (and my lap child) before. I don't think we can assume she's a bad mom or her kid is particularly bratty. We don't know why they were traveling, what the rest of their day had been like leading up to this, etc. Maybe there was a death in the family, missed naps, etc. Anyone's toddler can have a meltdown and when you are on a plane, you don't have a lot of options to snap them out of it, or leave. I feel sorry for all involved, including the neighboring passengers.[/quote]
