[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here's the honest answer:

Use the iPad and headphones, and don't engage vocally with him too much. It's not the kid that's annoying to the other passengers, it's the grinding constant "mom voice" that pisses everyone off.

Don't feel that you have to be overly interactive with him to impress the other parents. Nobody gives a crap if he is on the iPad all flight as long as they don't have to hear you. Noise from the kid is expected...you, on the other hand, shouldn't be heard.[/quote]

I’m sorry. Sad as it is, I agree with this pp totally. The performative parents are grating. I don’t mind kid sounds or even tantrums. [/quote]

Yes, this. Also, our 2.5 year old boy loves the treat of watching tv, eating whatever snacks he wants etc. He also desperately wanted to sleep on the overnight flight after a bit. We did not bring more than a couple new toys and he wasn’t interested in the ipad games. He’s normally really active but we just got him excited about his “special” tv time and snack time and he was an angel on our flights to and from Europe (and the connecting flights). Less of an angel waiting in the airport but you pick your battles![/quote]
