[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's entirely possible that the mom is just a terrible parent and possibly a terrible person.

It's also possible that this was a woman at the end of her rope.  Like another poster suggested, maybe coming back from her husband's funeral.  Or maybe her husband's in the military deployed and she was coming home from her mom's funeral (I once helped out a mom in that exact situation on a plane).  Or maybe just got a terminal diagnosis for herself.  Or she is maybe suicidal and went home to a bottle of pills in a bath after that flight.

It's really hard to say.  From your story, it's clear something is amiss in that family.  But it's hard to know what, and it's probably not important for us to figure it out so that we can pass judgement.

PS I once was holding some one else's kid when the puked on me on an airplane.  No good deed goes unpunished!  I also held someone's baby while they spent the flight puking.  
[b]PPS I had a flight attendance once tell me to have my kid pee on the seat (he was crying he needed to go to the bathroom and she said we couldn't get up) -- she said her kid had done it and it happens all the time.  Not sure about that, but she sure didn't seem bothered by the possible pee on the seat situation.[/b][/quote]

Wow this is interesting!! Now I'm mad they wouldn't let me pee on the seat lol. I once had a really early flight that was about 90min - I drank a ton of coffee and was running late due to bad roads and poor planning and thought I'll pee on the plane. And then during taxiing there was the announcement - the bathroom was broken. So I sat there in sheer agony and even begged multiple times are they sure?? [/quote]

WTF. How can they fly without a working bathroom, or AT THE VERY LEAST tell people of this situation before they board. That is seriously messed up.[/quote]
