In Reply to: Inconsiderate parents on planes. posted by hanoman on Sunday, 4. October 2009 at 19:53 Bali Time:
is 9years old and has been travelling to Bali since he was 3.
As he has Aspergers( aform of Autism) I was worried about how he would go on the 6 hour flight so I booked Business Class to give him a bit of room to move etc without bothering other people and he has always been good.
But if he did happen to have a meltdown I hope people such as yourself would not judge me or my son as being inconsiderate. Maybe these so called misbehaved children have problems that you are unaware of. So take the time to find out before condemning all parents of unruly children.
I have found that there are a lot more misbehaved adults on flights,mainly due to alcohol,than misbehaved children.
A little bit of tolerance wouldnt hurt.
