"....United announced that they are going to stop allowing parents with small children to board early. Now parents will have to board with their section, even as they clutch car seats, strollers, diaper bags, and the dozen other large-scale items that make traveling with babies such a nightmare. YAY United!NEXT let's get rid of "kids fly free"
I am sure many will say suck it up, you don't have to fly, and sure, that may be true. But as a mom, I am disgusted by this. Flying is hard enough for ANYONE, let alone parents with our hands full of things, plus kids. We need the overhead compartments and the extra time to get settled, and this will make it practically impossible for one parent to even consider flying alone with a child. GOOD, because we don't WANT them flying with their brats in the first place! WE DON'T CARE if your hands are full or how haaaard it is! Take your car, an open air boat where no one is "trapped" with them, a train where you can stuff them into a compartment, or whatever, but keep your pesky little wailing shitsacks OFF the plane! ANYTHING that encourages them to fly with kids being discontinued, like this or the "kids fly free" bullshit, is A-okay with me!
It's not just that, though. We are also a society. And it says enormous amounts about our society if we treat children badly. HOW is not getting special treatment for YOU, "treating children badly"?
Parents of young children and babies know how much we are hated on planes. And it isn't just planes, either. We are hated in restaurants, on subways, on buses, and on city sidewalks.
I am so glad my children are no longer babies so I don't have to endure the double stroller glance of fury. Anyone with a double stroller who lives in a city knows that look, full of stink-eye and rage.The thing is, it's not about special rights or a sense of entitlement or whining. It's very simple. It's about not being an asshole. Yeah, I AGREE, only it's the parents who are assholes when they drag an annoying kid onto an enclosed plane, NOT everyone else!

If YOU are the "exception" to what I am saying, then why does my commentary bother you so much?
I don't hate your kids, I HATE YOU!

Well, Moo-Cunt has got one thing right: That most people hate her, her shrieking loaves and oversized double-wide stroller. We can't stand the fact that she demands special treatment; above and beyond everyone else. She hates the fact that as a moo, she is NOT being heralded as a saint, martyr and goddess...the way she believes 'The Village' should view her.
People could care LESS about how hard today's moo-cunts have it, or how difficult it is for them to wrangle their noisy bastards while trying to get on a plane. It isn't our problem, lady!
Suck it up, Buttercup! That's the world. People don't want to hear your bastards in planes, trains or fancy restaurants. They are sick and tired of dealing with your misfits because you don't wish to change your life to accommodate the rest of us.
Society hasn't changed; entitled moo-cunts have only gotten worse, and now expected society to bend to their wishes, while offering nothing in return. The fact that they have graced the planet with yet another mewling, shrieking, snot-nosed resource sucker, doesn't make them special. If anything, are just another annoying breeder...like all the rest.
I hope to see more trends like this in the future. Less bastards on planes = better plane trips for other passengers and less chance that the plane will have to be grounded because of someone's uncontrollable bastard.

"It's not just that, though. We are also a society. And it says enormous amounts about our society if we treat children badly"----so now if no special treatment = badly????
"Parents of young children and babies know how much we are hated on planes. And it isn't just planes, either. We are hated in restaurants, on subways, on buses, and on city sidewalks."---really? if this was me, maybe i wuld go thru i don't care phase, but if it was day in and day out, I think i would avoid these things until the kiddies are like 11+ years old. You can do other fun stuff in your yard, local playgrounds and the like, you don't have to go all these places necessarily and aggravate everyone.
"The thing is, it's not about special rights or a sense of entitlement or whining. It's very simple. It's about not being an asshole. "---it sounds like it is exactly about special rights,etc etc. Once again, no special treatment= being an asshole....
so tired of it. make it go away.

I fail to understand how United is treating children badly with this new policy.
Now if they had said that all children will be required to be in cages and flown in the cargo hold, then she may have had a point (although I would wholeheartedly agree with this in the unlikely even it ever happened), but by not allowing moos extra time to get all their shit on board, well, that is hardly treating children badly. Dramatic much?
If United decides to get rid of its' "kids fly free" bullshit, they will have my business for life.
I'd like it for kids to be on mandatory Benadril

MOOOOO
I've been lurking around your boards for a few weeks now. Observed some interesting posts. Being the keeper of a 17 month old probably makes me the 'enemy' but I just couldn't let this one go. Is the author of that article serious???? Really??? I was waiting for the part where she said boarding with young children first makes it easier for the other passengers. Less waiting in a cramped aisle line. No chance of knocking someone with a stroller or bag. No sticky hands touching someone else..... That's how I would see it. Getting a baby n accessories to and from can be a fine art. And I HATE when I feel like I'm holding anyone up while I struggle with a squirming toddler n her billion bags, toys and associated junk. But this daft cow thinks it should be about her????? Smh.....and now I'm going to wonder how many people see me and mine like this because of some entitled moocow
Being the keeper of a 17 month old means you are not welcome to post on our board. I appreciate your thoughts and viewpoints, but since you are a moo, it has no place here...and nobody really cares anyway.
Also, since you have decided to post on a CHILDFREE board, which prohibits parents from posting, it's a good indicator that you are the very same type of person that we are griping about in this very thread.
ETA: I also have to say
is up with being a child's 'keeper'? Is it a pet? A handbag? Since when does someone 'keep' a chyld? You are supposed to PARENT your child...not treat it like an object.| Parents Deserve Special Treatment on Airlines (& Other Places, Too!) August 30, 2012 |

There are few occasions when brats should fly, if ever. They should be left at home with a sitter. That is for their comfort and for the comfort of other fliers. On all occasions, parents are to keep sticky fingers (and their owners) away from the clothes of others, preferably by keeping said fingers clean. Handy cloth-wipes should do the trick, even rags tucked in your diaper bag if your not feeling like spending a bunch. Be forewarned, this website doesn't take well to parents.
