Unruly Children in Public
 
How you let your kids behave in private is your own business, but when you take your little rascal out in public, you not only show everyone what terrible parents you are, but you make everyone around you miserable.
 
On that note, I’d like to give a big “I don’t loath you!” to AirTran for kicking a screaming child off their airplane.  I do quite a bit of traveling and I have to say I haven’t been a fan of AirTran, but this would certainly make me consider them more favorably in the future.
 
Unbelievably, after being given more than 15 minutes to get their child under control (during which time she was apparently crawling under the seats and striking her parents), mom complained that she wasn’t allowed to “console her”.  So that’s the solution to a kid drastically misbehaving:  Coddle her more?
