I don't know and I don't care. I became bored with the Bob/Zilla exchange a long time ago. me too, jeremy Zilla (who notices our boredom doesn't seem to stop halt anything, unfortunately) But Zilla, apparently *not* bored enough to prevent you from reminding everyone for perpetuity in your tag line. ...........Bob (still waiting for that apology, but not too worried, as I figure you want me to remember you as you are rather than like you)

Our son was very shy and quiet up to about the age of 3 1/2. He said the basic words but never was inclined to have even small conversation.
His first real FULL sentence came out when my brother in-law was holding him high in the air and trying to enjoy his 3 year old nephew. My son said to him in a deep voice.... "put me down you asshole".
My brother in-law was shocked and insulted. (silly him) Geri just laughed and was proud he finally had something to say.

Bob, *I* take exception with someone trying to tell me what I said, and assuming things that are just not there, like Zilla did about that interesting Juggling Video. Of course, I'm sure you would think what she did was absolutely fine by your standards. Why would you presume to know what I think and what my standards are? The only opinion I've stated is that I believe that people can argue and have a difference of opinion without resorting to insults. I also take offense (not really, but while we're on the subject) at folks who dish it out, but can't seem to take it in return. Don't get mad at me when you try to stab me in the back with a knife and I shoot you through the heart!! What I'm hearing from you is that I have no right to do that. I respectfully disagree. Why do you think I can't take it in return? Because I don't swear and name call myself? Again, I stand up for my opinions by having rationale, adult conversation........if that's not being able to take it, so be it. As best I can tell, you and Zilla don't seem to even want to begin to understand that. So be it. Again, where do I give you that impression? Also, I didn't mention anyone by name when I made my post in response to Zilla.............why did you feel the need to defend yourself so badly? My last word on this is that I respect everyone's opinion, I just hope they can express it without insulting others who hold differing opinions. I have worked with an older gentleman for the last 10 years, we could not be further apart on the political or religious spectrum. He is a fundamentalist Baptist with very deeply held convictions on many social and politial issues. We have had many discussions over the years and we rarely agree on most subjects, BUT we have never yelled at each other or called each other names. We both respect that we have differing opinions and we are actually the best of friends. Does this mean I can't take it when he dishes it out? I don't think so, I think it means we're adults who can agree to disagree. Jo Edited to add, I wish I could use the quote thingee better!!

I recently flew to Detroit from Orlando and ran into the the same problem, Bob. The ill mannered child kept kicking the back of my seat just because "she could". Sitting next to her was her father who had a baby in a car seat strapped into the window seat. The mother was across the aisle. After about 10 minutes or so I gave the mother a look and she told the little girl to "stop it". Which did nothing to dissuade the child from her behavior. The parents didn't say another word to that kid. I was ready to have the flight attendant intervene. I do not believe that any parent should allow a child to continue to behave in a manner that is unruly and annoying to those around them. I again looked at the mother, and she said to me "Gee, you must not be use to small chlildren...would you like to ch-ch-change seats. I said "YES" immediately. I wanted to tell her that I am not use to parents allowing their children to act like a brat in public. I kept my opinion to myself. I am a parent, and our son flew for the first time when he was about three years old. I would never have allowed him to aggravate other passengers. When he flew I took toys and food with us to keep him amused...that was in the days before personal DVD players and such. If a child is taught to have manners and to behave in public at an early age, the chances are great that the kid won't be kicking seats. Occasionally kids still act out but that's when they should be taught what is appropriate behavior for that environment. I am proud to say I could take my child out in public without (at least not too much) fear of them misbehaving. Gary, I did have a very similar experience but the word was "shit"...lol...and of course it was in front of my Southern Baptist parents... Kids will occasionally behave badly or say inappropriate things, but that is when it is time to be a proactive parent.
As an after thought...When he was very small and he misbehaved, instead of creating a commotion in the restaurant we would take him outside to chastise him, but I guess that wouldn't work on an airplane!

It would have been interesting to see how tolerant she would have been if she was the one being kicked through the entire flight.

Actually I did, and she told that kid a million times "stop that, stop that...". I had a headache and this whole thing was beyond irritating!! Due to the fact we fly out of Orlando...Where the "The Happiest Place on Earth" is there are always a lot of kids on the planes. I am flying to California next month first class and if there is a kid anywhere near me....

I like kids (never used to till I had nieces). I find that when I become interesting enough to them they shut up or stop kicking and their attention becomes diverted. Granted, doesn't always work, but it does more than half the time. I think of it as practicing my social skills at being cunning enough to control tiny monsters (who am I fooling, right?).
That said, yes, screaming, kicking children are a misery to ALL. I also do think the flight attendants also should make it their duty to work with the parents to control the children for the sanity of those others on the flight. The flight attendants likely would not agree with me because they have better things to do and don't want a potentially explosive situation.

Edie...in the rest. sounds much like what our parents did to us. Rather than take us outside...we would be escorted to the restroom for the discipline. Let me tell you...after you've visited the little boys room(no comments BB) with a pissed-off Dad once or twice...you learn pretty quick what is proper etiquette at a restaraunt. After that...all that had to be said to calm us down was simply..."do you need me to take you to the restroom" ? and we were back on track. Edited to add...woohooo just got to post number 69!

The boys have done well with flying, but I bring things to keep them occupied too, coloring books and yes <hangs head in shame> the portable dvd player WITH headphones so no one else has to hear it. I also make sure they have some benadryl before we get on the plane, recommended by the pediatrician to not only help with the ears but so they sleep and don't freak out or in other ways bother the other passengers.
They know better than to act up while they are out with me. They get to go sit in the car for a while with "Mean Mom" and that hasn't happened beyond a handful of times for either of them. They learned pretty quick I'm not joking when I tell them to behave.

Bravo well said and right on the money!!!!
All this post tells me is your narrow mind on kids can only focus on a physical control. You had no clue what the author was saying. Here's a great example of what that author posted.

Curious here though? Was it a 200 pound 3 year old that "shuck" the plane when jumping up and down.
psssssst..... You *CAN'T*
Another Zilla classic.
pssssst.....You are a HOOT!!!!
A HOME RUN!!!!
ANOTHER HOME RUN!!!!
OMG, THREE HOME RUNS!!!!
psssst.....All the Kid bashing opinions SUCKED!!!! Try bashing the parents for their actions. Not the KID.

I was originally pissed that the parents made no effort to control their kids. Why some parents let their kids behave like witches is beyond me. What I'm describing here is running up and down the isle, jumping up and down in one place like the plane is a trampoline, and generally pissing off everyone around . . . and the parents sit back as if nothing is wrong. I agree DT, blame the parents....bottom line. .............Bob

Times have really changed with children anyway. I flew quite a bit with my parents in the late 50's and early 60's when I was a small child. My parents made me wear a suit (I know it sounds strange but everyone dressed up to travel then). If I had bothered another passenger he would have warned me once, then beat my ass. When they had parties, I was to introduce myself to the guests, then go upstairs to my room and be quiet. Again, the razor strap would have come out if I had disobeyed.
I went to my brother in law's house last night. If other adults are watching television and the kid comes in and the two year old comes in and decides he wants to watch something different, they ch-ch-change the channel. The kid has tantrums and whines constantly. It is not pleasant going over there for that reason. IMHO, they are doing themselves and the child no favor.

Tex, this is exactly as I remember my childhood. My folks had "supper club" frequently, and I was *NOT* to disturb things. My Dad had a way of looking at us kids over his glasses, as they shifted down on his nose, and you just *KNEW* what was expected of you. You didn't even *THINK* of crossing that line. Kids these days don't have that. Just like that little witchet runnin' up and down the isle in the plane, "It's all about ME!!" Sounds like a recent POTUS. ...........Bob

I've seen Deb & Brian in action! Their darling little boys are TOTALLY little rascals UNTIL Mom says: ENOUGH! Then they kowtow and toe the line. She lets them burn off a lot of steam (at home) though before the steely gaze strikes, so they aren't spending their lives tiptoeing around mom. God job, Deb! And I love that your china cabinet is sacred.
