[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Maybe sit a few rows away from them so you can see them but they can't see you. My kids will complain at me nonstop if I'm near them but will behave like perfect angels if I'm not right there as their punching bag ready to hear every complaint big or small they may have.[/quote]

That is really sad to me. Do you know kids sometimes get moles red on planes sitting next to strangers? I work in the industry. Not common, but it happens.

More likely of course is that they will just need something. They are small children and should not have to navigate such a long flight alone, because they annoy you. No wonder kids nowadays have high rates of depression and anxiety .

It is a family vacation, for the good parts and the bad parts. Selfish people make bad parents. [/quote]

I'm not worried about that at all given my kids ages.  My kids did perfectly well with us sitting a few rows behind. I feel more sorry for the kid who would freak out and be overcome with anxiety that they can't be separated for a flight.  Your kids are depressed and anxious due to your overbearing helicopter nature.

And we all know your  "work in the industry" means you're not remotely close to being in the front line as a pilot or flight attendant. You work in some back office anywhere counting widgets.[/quote]

Except I review police reports from in-flight infractions.

True stories of kids (or adults witnesses) who report strangers touching kids in the seat next to them. So I think my intel might be a little more frontline than yours. And I am trying to protect kids here.

Bullshit. I don't believe you for a second helicopter mommy.[/quote]

Sorry to shatter your view of the world we live in. But it won’t change because you find it too upsetting to see reality. [/quote]

Pony up some facts, then. And they better not be about unaccompanied minors traveling alone which isn't what I'm talking about. Or young women. I'll wait.[/quote]

I did pony up facts.  Sorry but I don’t plan to share the children’s names, ages and flight numbers. [/quote]
