[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Last night we flew back to DC. Family in front of us had 5 kids (1 was a lap child), mom & nanny. 
Lap child was never in a lap. Was bouncing around the sears during take off/landing. We hit bad turbulence during landing & kid bounced up & hit her hear on ceiling. 
Kids were throwing skittles at passengers in front. Also lots of screaming. At one point older kiddo (maybe 3rd grade) was dumping soda on younger (maybe 1st grade) brother.  Same 1st grade brother definitely peed on the seat. Not on accident. Like stood up- unzipped pants & peed. 
Mom moved away from kids midway and sat further up- leaving nanny with 5 kids.

That’s the fact pattern- what would you have done?

As a mom of 3 young kids who needs to do an huge flight in a couple of months with them and is DREADING it, I was all set to scold you when I started reading your post. It SUCKS traveling with little kids and sometimes you just need to do it (e.g. for a move). Unfortunately with kids you already need to take a ton of stuff so bringing along a huge amount of entertainment isn't always possible. And in our case, we're moving and have a billion things to deal with as we're leaving and we're going to be a hot mess just managing to get on the flight in time. So we will do our best and then just hope for the best and hope that the other passengers try to be helpful instead of a$$holes. But then I continued reading, and WHAT THE HELL.

I honestly don't think I "would" have done anything except sit there with my mouth hanging open in shock for the entire flight.[/quote]
