[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've noticed this whenever I am on a plane. The older women almost never smile and they glare at me and my lap baby. My baby is very good on flights. I have traveled enough to see a pattern. Now I know someone is going to say I am not entitled to a smile blah blah blah. [/quote]

Not going to say anything other than that is interesting. I always had the opposite effect when I traveled with my babies--older women seated next to me wanting to constantly talk, interact with the baby. To an extent, it was nice.

There was one flight when my baby cried and I was having trouble nursing her/getting the right position and latch in my cramped seat. This woman was literally hovering over me, peering over the nursing cover, talking to me and the baby loudly. After trying to gently demur a bit, I finally looked at her and said, "Clearly, I don't want your help right now." She sat back, I got the latch, the baby fell asleep 20 minutes later.

The woman looked at me a bit sheepishly, I gave her a sort of, "It's fine now" look, and she said, "You were right. I needed to shut up and mind my own business." And she really meant it. I mouthed, "It's OK, thank you," and then we were quiet the rest of the flight. [/quote]

Op here. That's funny. I was recently on an international flight to South Asia and had the opposite experience. Everyone was so friendly and smiley towards the baby. [/quote]
