[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm a parent who has flown with my two kids since they were infants.  It is indeed possible to teach even small children to behave on planes and not bother those around them.  It takes a little advanced planning to ensure that you have activities that will engage your kids (and not electronic toys that annoy people with their noises), and it takes energy while you're on the flight to help keep them entertained.  But that's a parent's job.  [/quote]

My three young kids have been on about 50 flights between them and they are normally extremely well behaved.  However, one flight when my daughter was 10 months old, she just cried and cried.  We really don't know why, we tried absolutely every thing we could think of to get her to stop crying, but she just wouldn't.  I'm sure the OP hates me, and that you think that I'm not doing a parent's job.  But 3 kids, 50 flights, only one was bad, so I don't think it's a problem with what we are doing or that DH and I are inherently terrible at parenting on a plane or should never take another flight.  But if you were on that 2009 flight from Orlando to DCA you probably think those things about us. [/quote]
