The poster was on a 4 a.m. flight from Hawaii to California. She sat by the window, and a single mother sat in the aisle with her two young children behind her. The kids kept kicking the seat of the poster before they took off while their mom “rested her eyes.” The mother brushed it off after being woken up, saying, “That’s just what kids do.” The poster disagreed and said that parents should be in charge of their kids’ behavior. The poster woke the mother up every time the kids kicked again to stop them. This finally worked, and everyone was able to sleep.
After the flight, the poster thanked the mother for getting her kids to stop, but the mother got angry and called the poster a “a-hole” for not putting up with normal child behavior. The person who made the poster knows that traveling with kids can be stressful, but they still stand by what they did, saying that the mother shouldn’t have been able to sleep while others were awake.
Aitah for now allowing a single mother to sleep on flight?
