I was recently flying from NYC to LAX for a work trip and I had the displeasure of sitting next to a family and a little boy (9). I got on the plane in the midst of issues with my diabetes and I needed to eat within two hours so I began snacking. I immediately began receiving dirty looks from the parents and the mother said “can you not do that? Our son.” so I put my food away and figured I’d wait until the flight attendant came around so I could buy food from her and eat at an acceptable time just to show some respect for their wishes.
So the flight attendant comes by with her beverages and snacks, I start to ask for a Coke and a snack box, but before I can finish the sentence the father says “nothing for this row, we’re all set here” and she continues on. I go up to press the call light so I can get my food and my drink because I actually need it and the father says “our son has prader-willi, we’d prefer it if you didn’t eat because it causes tantrums when he doesn’t know he can’t eat and he’s always hungry”. I’m close to a tantrum myself at this point and so I look him in the eye and say “I do not care, fly private if you want to control your surroundings”.
The flight attendant comes back and I get my food and my drink, I snarf it down and chug my soda, and I sit back. As soon as I’m calmed and I’m able to open my laptop and get back to work the mother leans in and says “I feel a calling to educate you about my son’s disease” and I felt my entire body clench up. She keeps talking to me and explaining how I’d made her son feel and I said “listen lady, I don’t fucking care, I’m going to handle my T1D the way I see fit and you’re going to handle your son the way you see fit. I’m not endangering myself because you don’t want to deal with a tantrum, if you want to control other people then you book all the seats in a row or you fucking fly private.”
I recounted the story to a friend of mine once I’d gotten off the plane and she immediately told me that I was a huge AH and I should’ve given them a little bit of grace due to their son’s condition. I kind of feel bad but at the same time, I think that it’s unavoidable if you’re going into public and you’re around others.
AITA?

The second the famblee starting speaking on behalf of strangers sitting in their row the duh became the asshole. This famblee doesn't have the right to tell strangers when they can eat so that their brat doesn't have a tantrum. If they've raised this brat to think no one else has a right to eat in front of him then they either need to never take the brat in public or teach the brat that other people can eat anytime they want to. Unless they plan to live in a bubble I'd suggest the moo and duh "feel a calling" on educating their brat that others can eat anytime they want and throwing a fit about it isn't acceptable. There is no excuse for a nine year old having meltdowns every time someone else eats and he can't shovel it in. This famblee gets special asshole points for expecting the world to change for them instead of parunting their brat.

"I feel a calling to tell you to shut the fuck up."
Unless this kid's disease includes a mental component, nine is way too old to pitch a fit when he doesn't get his way. That shouldn't be anybody's problem but his breeders' who are allowing him to do it.

It's entirely possible it's made up because it's Reddit, but breeder entitlement also knows no bounds and I would absolutely not doubt someone's head is this far up their kid's ass.
