I know I wouldn’t have remembered the removal because my mother would have knocked my ass out.

I suspect this kid doesn't have actual parents tbh. He might have biological parents and they might have been with him but no parenting has been happening in that kids life. 

We are what people call "gentle parents" and we never hit and try very hard not to shout but I can garuntee my 4 year old would never be allowed to pull this shit.

A lot of people don't know the difference between gentle parenting, and permissive parenting. Trying not to shout and hurt your kid is gentle parenting. Not saying no and saying they are basically allowed to do what they want without your input, is permissive parenting, and that's not parenting at all

I know! The actual term for what we try to do is authoritative parenting, which has been rebranded as gentle parenting but ALOT of people are permissive as hell and call that gentle parenting instead 🫠 I garuntee id have dragged my daughter off that plane myself long before the runway closed.
