[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Seriously, if someone tried to make me responsible for taking care of their child because they did not plan ahead to make sure they were seated with their minor -- I would do nothing for their child but ring the call button every time the child fussed or needed something. I would certainly not attend to their child myself, because someone that irresponsible and deluded would also probably be ridiculously and irrationally litigious. [/quote]

Of course no one can "make you" take care of their child.  Hell, I'd be perfectly happy to leave my 5 yo in a different seat so I could fly for 5 hours in peace.  If you want to ring the call button every five minutes, that's fine with me too.  I'm sure the flight attendant will manage to find a better seating arrangement in a hurry, in that case.  The PPs saying "here's my kid's diaper bag, please giver her a bottle" don't actually expect anyone to DO that.  They're just spelling out exactly what it means when you refuse to change seats.  Of course you don't have to give a bottle or change a diaper, but you'll probably open your eyes and realize you're about to be sitting next to a screaming baby without its mother to comfort it for the next several hours.  Maybe it's the airline's fault or maybe it's the mother's.  Who knows?  [b]Sometimes your day just doesn't go as you planned and you have to suck it up[/b].[/quote]

Yes, that's true.  And if the kid is young enough to take a bottle, she is young enough to be a lap baby.  It isn't the Mom's day - she just has to suck it up.  [/quote]
